ABSTRACT:
A lubricating system for an outboard motor equipped with a vertical type engine. In one embodiment, the lubricating system has an oil pump positioned near the bottom of the engine, the oil pump driven by an oil pump rotor that is positioned at a connection between the crankshaft and an engine drive-shaft, the oil pump rotor being linked to the crankshaft. The system further includes a camshaft-driving mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the crankshaft to a propulsion device. The camshaft-driving mechanism is also positioned at the connection between the crankshaft and the drive-shaft and is also linked to the crankshaft. The lubrication system also has a main oil tank for storing lubricating oil circulated by the oil pump, and an engine-cooling water passageway positioned next to the main oil tank. Another element of this embodiment of the lubricating system is a filter-mounting base positioned on an outer wall of the cylinder blocks. The system also has oil passageways positioned at the bottom of the cylinder blocks for distributing the oil.
