ABSTRACT:
An engine of an outboard motor includes an improved engine component layout to minimize the size of the engine and to generally isolate a shift position mechanism from an intake air flow into the engine. The outboard motor includes a shifting mechanism that shifts a transmission between three operational states: forward, neutral, and reverse. The shifting position mechanism is principally positioned directly beneath a flywheel of the engine. This position simplifies the design of the shifting mechanism and reduces the girth of the engine and associated components within the cowling.
