Abstract
A drive mechanism for power boats having an inboard motor and a stern drive propeller mounting. The device includes a gimbaled propeller shaft housing located outboard of the transom. A gear pair mounted within the propeller shaft housing provides a lower propeller shaft relative to the hull of the boat without requiring a greater propeller shaft angle relative to the hull and without requiring a lowered inboard motor position.
