Abstract
An outboard drive for a marine engine includes an upper unit mounted through the transom of the boat and a lower steerable leg which includes the propeller shaft. A pivot point in the upper unit is inside the boat. The drive unit is rotatable about this pivot point to lift, or tilt, the drive from its normal position. The steering tube, shift tube, and lift motor shaft are all rotatable about the pivot point inside the boat. Because of this, the required space between the drive and the engine is minimized.
