ABSTRACT:
A number of embodiments of arrangements for stabilizing the running of a marine propulsion unit by slowing the speed of the propulsion unit when an underwater obstacle is struck. In some embodiments, the slowing is accomplished by misfiring of the engine and in other embodiments, the speed is reduced by throttling the fuel supply to the engine. The embodiments illustrate the application of the principle to an outboard drive of an inboard/outboard drive arrangement or for an outboard motor. The striking of the underwater obstacle is sensed by either an impact sensor, by sensing the angular position of the outboard drive, or by sensing the rise in pressure in a shock absorber that resists the popping up action.
