ABSTRACT:
An engine of an outboard motor includes an improved engine component layout to minimize the size of the engine and to generally isolate a shift position mechanism from an intake air flow into the engine. The outboard motor includes a shift actuation mechanism that shifts a transmission between three operational states: forward, neutral, and reverse. The shift actuation mechanism includes a shift position mechanism that defines the position of the shift actuation mechanism during each of these three operational states. The shift position mechanism is positioned beneath the engine crankcase and is formed in part by a shift lever of the actuation mechanism. This position and construction simplifies the design of the shift position mechanism and generally isolates the mechanism from any salt water or other contaminates the are entrained in the air flow stream within the cowling.
