ABSTRACT:
A drive arrangement for an engine of an outboard motor including a cowling and a water propulsion device is disclosed. The engine is positioned in the cowling and has a body having a top end and a bottom end and defining at least one combustion chamber. The engine has a generally vertically extending crankshaft having a bottom end in driving relation with the water propulsion device and a top end extending above the top end of the body of the engine, the engine including an intake system including an intake passage through which air is provided to each combustion chamber, at least one intake valve for controlling the flow through the intake passage, and an intake camshaft for actuating the intake valve(s). The engine also includes an exhaust system including an exhaust passage leading from each combustion chamber, at least one exhaust valve for controlling the flow of exhaust through the exhaust passage, and an exhaust camshaft for actuating the exhaust valve(s). The drive arrangement includes a flywheel positioned on the crankshaft adjacent the top end of the engine and a camshaft drive pulley positioned on the crankshaft above the flywheel, the camshaft drive pulley driving a first flexible transmitter which drives a driven pulley connected to at least one of the camshafts, the crankshaft further arranged to drive a second flexible transmitter which drives a pulley associated with an engine accessory such as an alternator.
