Twin outboard drive for watercraft

摘要

A twin outboard drive and more particularly to an improved transmission and shifting arrangement for such drives. The drives include forward, neutral and reverse transmissions of the bevel gear type and which provide counter-rotation of the respective associated propellers. One of the transmissions is shifted in one direction to shift from neutral to forward while the other transmission is shifted in the opposite direction to shift from neutral to forward. A pair of remote control shift levers are provided and a motion transmitting means connects the shift levers with the transmissions so that the transmissions are shifted in opposite directions when the shift levers are moved in the same direction. In some embodiments, this is accomplished by a crank and follower mechanism and in other embodiments, it is accomplished by a cam and follower arrangement.
