Abstract
A container, or pod, is provided for a pontoon boat in which an engine is disposed within the container and the container is supported below the deck surface of the pontoon boat. The container is shaped to prevent its passing completely downwardly through an opening in the deck surface when it is assembled from a position above the deck. A marine propulsion device is connected to the engine which is located within the pod, or container, and extends from the container when the container and the marine propulsion device are supported below the deck of the pontoon boat.
