Abstract
An air intake device for a marine propulsion engine that effectively separates water from the intake air and precludes that water from being swept back into the induction system for the engine. A plenum chamber is formed as a separate part of the air intake device and is connected to the carburetor through a transition portion that extends across the upper end of the plenum chamber. The plenum chamber is displaced forwardly of the carburetor so as to not interfere with it or restrict its size.
