Abstract
A stern drive marine propulsion system, including an exhaust discharge control mechanism for selectively routing exhaust to an above-water outlet and to a below-water outlet, and an automatic trim control mechanism, is provided with circuitry interconnecting such components. The trim control system and the exhaust control system are selectively interconnectable so that the exhaust control is actuated responsive to operation of the trim control system.
