* 9 Claims.
Our invention relates to outboard propelling units for boats, and the primary object is to provide an efficient, practical, and comparatively simple and rugged design of drive unit assembly which is especially an improvement over the general type of mechanism as disclosed in the copending application Ser. No. 702,920, filed by Robert T. Sven-dsen (one of present applicants) for Boat propelling mechanism.
More particularly a further and more specific object is to provide the unit with an anti-cavitation plate which is disposed, at an angle, forwardly inclined with respect to the horizontal, so as to best utilize the action of the water passing into the usual initial swell in the wake behind the boat, to hold the unit down in operative position and thus counteract the normal tendency of the propeller to lift forwardly out of the'water. A further object is to incline the cavitation plate laterally to both sides from its median line, or as seen in cross section, whereby listing of the vessel, as when making a turn, will not cause one side, of the plate to lift out of the water to thereby lessen or destroy its anti-cavitating function. A further object is to provide a novel and efficient method or means for manually adjusting and holding the drive unit at various elevations and for raising it to a completelyinactive, vertical position for inspection, repair, or removal. A further object is to provide a novel arrangement of cooling means in conjunction with the drive unit assembly for cooling water circulated from the cooling system of the engine or motor that drives the propelling mechanism. These and still other more detailed and specific objects willbe disclosed in the course of the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a left hand side elevation of our improved drive mechanism, as applied to the stem or transom wall of a boat, and with the major portion of the unit in sectional elevation for purpose 'of illustration.
Fig. 2 is a detail plan view of the lift lever retaining bar, as on line 22 in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional elevation on line 31-3 in Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a detail elevation of a portion of the unit, as viewed from the right hand side.
Referring to the drawing more particularly and by reference characters, 5 designates the drive unit mounting plate, which is secured in and to the transom wall 6 of the boat I, in the manner more fully disclosed in the aforesaid menand lower bearings, I3 and M,'in a cast frame or housing I5, the upper or forward end of which is bifurcated and pivotally secured, as at iii, to two transversely spaced lugs ll extending integrally and rearwardly from the plate 5.
of universal joint It so that power can be transmitted freely while the frame If; is vertically adjusted, and this condition also permits the frame to be swung upwardly to or beyond a vertical position for repair or inspection purposes.
The frame is vertically adjusted, within certain limits, by a hand lever i8 which pivots, as
at I9, to a casting 26 to permit slight transverse adjustment of the lever and thereby facilitate engagement and release thereof with respect to spaced hooks or teeth 2| of an arm 22 extending rearwardly from and rigidly with respect to the plate 5. The casting is mounted for oscillation on one of the pivot pins 16 and has a laterally projecting lug 23 for engaging underan edge of the frame to lift andsupport the latter. The lever arm l8 has freedom for only limited rearward movement, however, and consequently when it is desired to swing the frame up to its vertical and completely inactive position it is grasped by hand and pulled forward to thus disengage from the lug 23 and to swing independently of the members I820.
The frame [5 includesa long integral fin 24 which extends downwardly and rearwardly,ter minating in a shoe 25 under the propeller I 2.
'This fin, and its shoe, serve not only to reinforce the frame, but also serve as a propeller guard so that the propeller will not become damaged by striking against obstructions in the water; The shoe portion 25 further serves as a bearing support and guard for the lower end of the rudder, 26.

It will first be noted that the plate slopes 7 the .watertraveled throughtoeXert a downward or inclines downwardly," or at 'a' forwardxan'gle aWlth respect to thehorizontal; and thatits'for ward end is disposed at a point or level below the bottom of the sternend of;the boat.
