ABSTRACT:
A marine propulsion device comprising a lower unit including a propeller shaft mounted for rotation about an axis, a propeller mounted on the propeller shaft, a drive gear, and a transmission including an actuator movable along the propeller shaft axis for selectively effecting driving engagement between the drive gear and the propeller shaft, an engine drivingly connected to the drive gear, a shift member movable along an axis transverse to the propeller shaft axis, and a mechanism selectively connectable, in alternative first and second conditions, between the shift member and the actuator for moving the actuator in opposite first and second directions along the propeller shaft axis in response to movement of the shift member in opposite directions, the mechanism moving the actuator in the first direction when connected in the first condition and when the shift member is moved in one direction, and the mechanism moving the actuator in the second direction when connected in the second condition and when the shift member is moved in the one direction.
