ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new type of marine power take-off system which increases the performance of the V-hull type boat, while not increasing the engine compartment space. The present invention enables the boat manufacturer to mount the engines side-by-side to provide increased passenger space in the boat, while at the same time permitting the propellers to be lower in the water and closer to each other than with conventional designs of side-by-side engines.
The power take-off system of the present invention combines the boat's transmission with a chain drive assembly adjacent the transmission. Through use of the novel design of the present invention, the output shaft of the power take-off system leading to the propeller is much lower and offset from the location of the center of the engine input shaft.
