摘要

An improved lift control in a steerable propeller or Z-drive for watercrafts. The drive includes a transmission shaft which extends from the engine to a point below the water level and to the propeller. The transmission shaft is arranged in the housing. For purposes of tilting the housing out of the water and/or trimming the angle of thrust, at least one pressure cylinder is provided and is arranged in the housing which contains the transmission shaft.
