ABSTRACT:
A marine outdrive attachable to the transom of a small fishing boat having an inboard engine. The marine outdrive includes a kit having through transom mounting plate, a fabricated propeller shaft housing pivotally attached to a pivot member which is pivotally attached to said transom plate thereby providing freedom of movement in two planes. The outdrive is supported and maintained under tension in the horizontal plane by a flexible member and a shock absorber thus maintaining automatically contact with any surface in contact with the boat's keel. A kit is provided containing all essential components and instructions for installation of the outdrive on a small fishing craft. All working components are off the shelf stock items or fabricated for easy field repair.
