ABSTRACT:
A drain assembly for draining water from the engine compartment of an outboard motor. The drain assembly includes a valve member actuatable in response to movement of the throttle control mechanism to an open position to permit water to drain from within the engine compartment through an aperture in a bottom wall portion of the engine cowling when the throttle control mechanism is moved to its full throttle position. The valve member is biased to a closed position by a spring and is moved to its closed position to prevent ingress of water into the engine compartment through the aperture in the bottom wall of the engine cowling when the throttle control mechanism is moved to a less than full throttle position.
