ABSTRACT:
A protective enclosure and position warning device for the lower drive gear unit of outboard motors carried by boats and for the outdrive portion of inboard/outdrive type boat engines comprises an enclosure formed of water impervious material which is adapted to be fitted about the drive unit of a marine engine for protection of the drive unit from deterioration by water, dirt, dust, etc. The enclosure is provided with closure means that secures the enclosure in assembly with the drive unit and is also provided with a reinforced drain opening that will allow any water that might enter the enclosure to exit by way of the drain. The material from which the enclosure is composed is of a color that is highly visible during the light of day and the material is also light reflective, enabling the protective enclosure to be readily seen when lighted by the light of automotive head lamps at night. The shape of the enclosure including the opening through which the drive unit of the marine engine is received is of such configuration and cooperates with the closure structure of the enclosure to serve as a sea anchor and as a distress signal device when not being utilized as a protective enclosure for marine engines.
