Abstract
A cooling system for an outboard motor and specifically for the lubricating reservoir thereof. The lubricating reservoir depends into the drive shaft housing and is surrounded by an open trough-like water manifold to which cooling water is delivered from the engine. This manifold has lower restricted openings that direct the coolant to the outer peripheral wall of the oil pan of the lubricant reservoir. The water level is maintained by a weir-like structure and the water that overflows the weir is also directed toward the outer surface of the lubricant reservoir.
