ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a marine propulsion device including an input shaft drivingly connected to a power source, a lower unit having a rotatably mounted drive shaft extending in coaxial relation to the input shaft, a rotatably mounted propeller shaft carrying a propeller and drivingly connected to the propeller shaft, and a two-speed transmission drivingly connecting the input shaft to the drive shaft. The transmission includes a third shaft rotatably mounted in parallel relation to the input shaft and the drive shaft, a first pair of meshing gears including a first drive gear mounted on the input shaft and a first driven gear mounted on the third shaft, a second pair of meshing gears including a second drive gear mounted on the third shaft and a second driven gear mounted on the drive shaft, and a one-way overrunning clutch drivingly connecting one of the shafts to a gear mounted on the shaft when the rotational speed of the input shaft is less than a predetermined value. The transmission also includes a fluid pressure actuated selectively actuatable clutch for drivingly connecting the input shaft and the drive shaft when the rotational speed of the input shaft is greater than a first value. The transmission includes a housing and a pair of the meshing gears are disposed in the housing to form a fluid pump for providing fluid to the fluid pressure actuated clutch, the fluid pump developing fluid pressure which increases as the rotational speed of the gears increases.
