A system for antifouling of a marine drive having a frame coupled to a propulsor housing may include a vibration dampening joint which couples the propulsor housing to the frame or an extension thereof. The vibration dampening joint may include an isolator connector assembly having an elastomeric member which is clamped between the propulsor housing and the frame or the extension thereof such that all vibrations emanating from the propulsor housing pass through the elastomeric member. A power source for providing electricity may be supported on the frame. An electric circuit may have a first end coupled to the power source and an opposite, second end coupled to the propulsor housing. The electric circuit may be configured to convey electricity from the power source to the propulsor housing and thus prevent fouling thereof, wherein the electric circuit extends through the vibration dampening joint.

A marine drive is for propelling a marine vessel in a body of water. The marine drive has a supporting frame configured to support the marine drive with respect to the marine vessel, an extension leg depending on the supporting frame, a motor housing depending on the extension leg, the motor housing for containing an electric motor, and a vibration isolating joint which couples the extension leg to the supporting frame. The vibration isolating joint having an isolating connector assembly including an elastomeric member which is clamped between the extension leg and the supporting frame and configured to limit transfer of vibrations from the extension leg to the supporting frame, and a compression limiter which prevents over clamping of the elastomeric member during assembly of the extension leg and the motor housing.

A gravity-operated wildlife feeder with realistic tree stump appearance is disclosed. The body and its feed delivery compartments or chutes are molded from a composite material as a single piece to reduce cost and improve durability. The shape of the delivery chutes makes it so there are no pockets or other areas where feed can collect and not be discharged from the feed openings. The feed openings are located at the ends of root-shaped protrusions.

Positive pressure is used to induce the flow of a liquid lubricant from a crankcase and through a drain conduit so that used oil can be removed from the engine and collected in a container during an oil change procedure. Positive pressure is introduced into the crankcase, and into an ullage region above the liquid lubricant, by the use of an inlet valve that can be attached to a cam cover to replace a PCV valve temporarily during the oil change.

Method for pneumatically removing oil from an engine

An exhaust system for a marine propulsion system includes first through fifth exhaust conduit members, including a pair of serially connected marine exhaust elbows laterally spanning the engine.
