The authentication unit stores information for causing the outboard motor control unit to permit an engine start in order to enable setting of an unlock state in which the engine start is permitted without authentication of ID information of an electronic key and a child lock state in which the engine start is permitted by performing a predetermined release operation without necessity of authenticating the ID information of the electric key.

Outboard motor anti-theft security system

A fuel injection device injects fuel per each cylinder in an engine having a plurality of cylinders #and #. At a time of engine actuation, start timings of fuel injections are shifted per each cylinder and times within one rotation of a crankshaft is set as the injection start timings for all cylinders. At least the initial fuel injection is performed before cylinder discrimination.

Engine fuel injection device

A start control device () for an outboard motor () has: a determination unit () determining whether or not an emergency switch () is on when a first switch is operated by a boat operator; a start instruction unit () instructing a start of the outboard motor () when the determination unit () determines that the emergency switch () is not on; and a stop instruction unit () instructing a stop of a supply of electric power to the outboard motor () when the determination unit () determines that the emergency switch () is on. It is possible to make a state where the electric power is supplied to the outboard motor () shift to a state where the supply of electric power to the outboard motor () is stopped without starting the outboard motor ().

Start control device for outboard motor, start control method for outboard motor, and program

A single switch unit having a pair of switches is provided in the vicinity of a throttle grip which is provided in a distal end of a tiller handle. The single switch unit is provided with a function of performing the operation for changing a tilt angle of an outboard motor body with respect to a hull and a function of performing the operation for adjusting a rotational speed of an engine of the outboard motor at the time of trolling operation. Upon simultaneous pressing of a pair of the switches, these two functions of the switch unit are switched.

Outboard motor

A CDI ignition coil unit integrally formed of an exciter coil, pickup coil and control unit is arranged over the upper side of the engine case, at a position on the cylinder head side in proximity to the periphery of the flywheel while an ignition cord is provided to connect a spark plug located at the cylinder head to the CDI ignition coil unit.

Ignition mounting arrangement in internal-combustion engine

An engine unit of an outboard motor comprises an engine body, a crank case in which a crankshaft is vertically perpendicularly arranged in a usable mounted state of the outboard motor, a cylinder block which is disposed to a rear side of the crank case and in which cylinders are arranged, a cylinder head disposed to a rear side of the cylinder block, a magnet device mounted to a top end portion of the crankshaft projecting upward and comprising a stator and a flywheel to which a rotor is integrally formed. In the engine unit, the crankshaft is supported by a bearing boss disposed to a mating portion of the cylinder block and the crank case through a bearing means and an oil seal is disposed between the bearing boss and the bearing means, and the magnet device is mounted to the engine body through the stator through a mounting portion. A diameter of the mounting portion of the stator is to be larger than an outer diameter of the oil seal.

Engine unit of outboard motor

An outboard motor includes an engine disposed above an engine holder in a mounted usable state of the outboard motor, and the engine comprises a crankcase in which a crankshaft extends vertically perpendicularly, a cylinder block disposed rear side of the crankcase, and a cylinder head disposed rear side of the cylinder block. A starter motor mounted to a front surface of the crank case and an oil filter is further mounted to the crank case at a portion below the starter motor.

An outboard motor generally comprises an engine holder, an engine disposed above the engine holder, an oil pan disposed below the engine holder, and an engine cover covering the engine holder, the engine and the oil pan so as to define a space between the engine and the engine cover. The engine includes a crankcase in which a crankshaft extends vertically perpendicularly in a usable state of the outboard motor, a cylinder block disposed rear side of the crankcase, a cylinder head disposed rear side of the cylinder block, an intake unit disposed to one surface side of the engine, an exhaust unit disposed to another one surface side thereof and arranged so as to project outward from the another one surface side of the engine as an exhaust projection portion, and an electrical equipment part. The above-mentioned space between the engine and the engine cover includes a space portion defined by the cylinder head, the exhaust projection portion and the engine cover and the electrical equipment part is disposed in this space portion.

An outboard motor comprises an engine holder, an engine disposed above the engine holder in a mounted usable state of the outboard motor, the engine being an in-line multi-cylinder type and comprising a crankcase in which a crankshaft extends vertically perpendicularly, a cylinder block disposed rear side of the crankcase, and a cylinder head disposed rear side of the cylinder block, an oil pan disposed below the engine holder, an electrical equipment, and an electrical equipment holder having an electrical equipment holding portion for holding the electrical equipments. The electrical equipment holder is mounted to the engine through a fixing portion, and the electrical equipment holding portion and the fixing portion are integrally formed of an elastic material.

The present invention is to provide an electronically controlled fuel injection type two-stroke engine wherein the intake air amount can be determined with precision so that the fuel injection amount can be properly controlled in conformity with the varying conditions of the exhaust pressure, to thereby achieve an optimal air-fuel ratio and hence improve the output power, the fuel consumption and the exhaust performance. For the computation of the correction value to the fuel injection amount based on the intake passage pressure, the actual throttle opening and engine speed are detected, and the intake pressure value P is detected at the same time. Then the corresponding basic intake pressure value is selected from the basic intake pressure map so as to calculate the difference between the basic intake pressure value and the detected intake pressure value. This difference corresponds to the difference in exhaust pressure between the base state and the actual run state (exhaust pressure varies depending upon the conditions such as the boat speed, forward/backward mode, the mounted position (height) and the number of the mounted engines and the like). From this difference, the correction value to the fuel injection amount based on the intake pressure is computed.
