5. Boating Skills And Seamanship 5 Copyright 2007 - Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. Types of Marine Propulsion (Roger’s slide for clarity) Outboard: Unit containing engine, shafts, prop located outside & attached to transom Inboard: Engine in boat, shaft through hull, external prop & rudder, prop at angle to water surface, no trim function Traditional uses straight shaft, engine is well forward of transom Tunnel drive V drive moves engine to transom, shaft cut into two and leaves engine going forward, then reverses Inboard/Outboard (I/O): Engine inboard at stern, external drive includes prop parallel to water surface, driven by shafts at 90 degrees. Swivel drive to turn; no rudder Traditional I/O has large transom cut out Tractor or 360 degree swivel, shaft through hull, drive & prop under hull Jet drive: Impeller no prop, pumps water for thrust. Swivel nozzle to turn.

Induction Systems Carburetor Fuel is mixed with air, then passed into the cylinder Backfire may cause flame to come out air intake. Use flame arrester. Fuel injection Fuel injected into cylinder to mix with air Some use flame arrester Diesel injects once cylinder is compressed, triggering ignition
