Abstract
A clutch mechanism of an outboard engine provides improved feel of shifting operation while allowing a detent mechanism and a stopper to fully perform their functions. The clutch mechanism has a shift cam which is remotely operable through a clutch rod and a shift rod, so as to switch the direction of rotation of a propeller shaft within a gear case. The clutch mechanism has an assist device acting between the clutch rod and the shift rod. The assist device has a rotary drive member connected to the clutch rod, a rotary driven member connected to the shift rod and driven by the drive member, and an elastic member disposed to act between the drive member and the driven member.
