Abstract
A tilt cylinder device for a tiltable outboard drive unit on a marine vessel positioned so that the stress acting on the tilt cylinder device and its associated parts is decreased when the drive unit collides with an underwater obstacle. The tilt cylinder device is also positioned so that the stop pin, used for setting the downward tilt position of the drive unit, is not obstructive to the removal of the tilt cylinder device.
