<p>A marine drive (10) has a water inlet (234) on the side of the skeg (194). One or more turning vanes (261, 289) receive incoming water flow and turn and direct same forwardly and upwardly within the skeg to a torpedo nose passage (198). A flow divider (284, 285) separates incoming water flow entering the water inlet opening into upper and lower water streams each initially flowing along a first path horizontally rearwardly and then along a second curved path and then merging along a third path upwardly and forwardly in an internal water passage (196) in the skeg. Water inlet plate structure maintains desired water intake flow volume.</p> |
