PCT No. PCT/SE93/00550 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 1, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 1, 1995 PCT Filed Jun. 22, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/00340 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 6, 1994.A boat propulsion unit adapted to be suspended on the outside of a boat transom and drivably connected to an engine on the inside of the transom. The unit comprises a propeller drive shaft housing, a suspension arrangement adapted to be fixedly secured to the transom, a pivot which pivotally connects the drive shaft housing to the suspension arrangement to allow pivotal displacement of the drive shaft housing relative to the suspension arrangement about a pivot axis in a vertical plane and pivot axis in a horizontal plane, a steering device which is arranged to effect pivotal displacement of the drive shaft housing about first-mentioned axis, and a trim and tilt device which is arranged to effect pivotal displacement of the drive shaft housing about the second-mentioned axis. The suspension arrangement (2) comprises a hollow frame member (5) which has a closed cross-sectional configuration and is adapted to be secured around an opening (12) in a boat transom (4). A carrier (6) is attached to the frame member, this carrier covering the opening and supporting the pivot. |
