Abstract
A mounting arrangement for a marine drive including a pair of non-parallel unequal links pivotally connected at one of their ends to the transom and at their other ends to the outboard drive so that the outboard drive will be raised on pivotal movement of the links while maintaining a relatively lower amount of pivotal movement of the outboard drive relative to the associated watercraft so as to minimize the overhang and yet permit a large degree of raising of the propeller during the pivotal movement. The linkage system further permits the outboard drive to assume the desired trim angle under all driving conditions.
