ABSTRACT:
A marine propulsion installation comprising a propulsion unit adapted to be pivotally mounted on the transom of a boat for pivotal movement relative to the transom about a generally vertical steering axis, the propulsion unit including a rotatably mounted propeller, and an engine connected to the propeller, a fuel conduit having a first end communicating with the engine for supplying fuel thereto, and a second end, a fuel tank defining a fuel chamber adapted to contain fuel, and a coupling apparatus including a first member mounted on the fuel tank and including an air ventilation passage communicating with the fuel chamber, a valve member movable between a closed position and an open position for respectively closing and opening the air ventilation passage, a pivotal lever movable between a first position and second position for respectively moving the valve member from the closed position to the open position, a spring for biasing the lever to the first position, and a first fuel pasageway including a first end communicating with the fuel chamber, and a second end, a second member adapted to be connected with the first member and including a projection for moving the lever from the first position to the second position against the force of the biasing spring when the first member is connected with the second member, and a second fuel passageway including a first end communicating with the fuel conduit and a second end adapted to be connected to the second end of the first fuel passageway to allow fuel to flow from the fuel chamber to the fuel conduit through the first and second fluid passageways when the first and second members are connected.
