Abstract
A marine engine comprises a powerhead having an engine block, a cylinder head and a crankcase containing a crankshaft. Operation of the marine engine causes rotation of the crankshaft. A crankcase cover encloses the crankshaft in the crankcase. A supercharger is on the crankcase cover, the supercharger being configured to provide charge air for combustion in the powerhead. A cooling passage conveys cooling fluid between the crankcase cover and the supercharger so that the cooling fluid cools both in the crankcase and in the supercharger.
