Outboard drive transmission system

摘要

A transmission for a counter-rotational propeller system of a watercraft outboard drive includes an improved clutch coupling which allows relative motion between a clutch and a portion of a clutch actuator, while reducing friction and wear between these components. The coupling includes an annular collar that is captured within an inner bore of the clutch. The ends of the collar are journaled within the bore for relative rotation between the collar and the clutch. Sufficient spacing also is maintained between the collar outer periphery and the inner bore wall to prevent contact between the collar and the clutch. A pin connects the collar to the clutch actuator.
