An outboard motor includes an engine, an electric motor, a propeller that rotates due to a driving force from the engine and a driving force from the electric motor, and an anti-cavitation plate disposed above the propeller. At least a portion of the electric motor is disposed above the anti-cavitation plate and below a waterline of an outboard motor body.

An outboard motor has a powerhead that causes rotation of a driveshaft, a steering housing located below the powerhead, wherein the driveshaft extends from the powerhead into the steering housing; and a lower gearcase located below the steering housing and supporting a propeller shaft that is coupled to the driveshaft so that rotation of the driveshaft causes rotation of the propeller shaft. The lower gearcase is steerable about a steering axis with respect to the steering housing and powerhead.

A mobile emissions control system is provided for diesel engines operated on ocean-going ships at-berth. The emissions control system comprises two essential elements: an emissions capturing system and an emissions control system. The emissions control system may be mounted on a towable chassis or mounted on a barge, allowing it to be placed alongside ocean-going ships at-berth. The emission capturing system captures exhaust from a ship's diesel engine and conducts it into the emissions control system, which cleans the exhaust and then passes clean air into the atmosphere through an exhaust outlet.

An outboard motor, including an engine having a cylinder containing a combustion chamber, an intake pathway connected to the combustion chamber, a piston disposed in the cylinder, a crankshaft connected to the piston, a fuel injection device connected to the intake pathway, and an ignition device connected to the combustion chamber. The outboard motor further includes a controller that is configured to receive a signal indicating an engine speed from a sensor, control the fuel injection device to suspend fuel supply and control the ignition device to suspend ignition, upon determining that the engine is in an over-revolution state, control the fuel injection device to release the suspension of the fuel supply upon determining that the engine has recovered from the over-revolution state, and control the ignition device to release the suspension of the ignition after lapse of a number of cycles of the engine since the release of the suspension of the fuel supply.

An outboard includes a plurality of first branched pipes connected to a plurality of first exhaust ports and a plurality of second branched pipes connected to a plurality of second exhaust ports, respectively, wherein the plurality of first branched pipes are connected to a first collecting pipe and the plurality of second branched pipes are connected to a second collecting pipe. A connector connects the first collecting pipe and the second collecting pipe. The plurality of first branched pipes extend in a direction away from the connector in a plan view, and each includes a first exhaust pathway located farther away from the connector than the first collecting pipe is in the plan view. The plurality of second branched pipes extend in a direction away from the connector in a plan view, and each includes a second exhaust pathway located farther away from the connector than the second collecting pipe is in the plan view.

The present invention relates to an exhaust system for a combustion engine of a marine vessel. The exhaust system includes an exhaust system inlet configured to be coupled to an exhaust gas outlet of the marine engine, one or more exhaust system outlets, and an exhaust gas flow path extending from the inlet to the one or more exhaust system outlets and having a forward flow direction from the exhaust system inlet and a reverse flow direction extending from at least one of the one or more exhaust system outlets. The exhaust system further includes a flow redirection arrangement in the exhaust gas flow path for restricting a flow of liquid flowing in the reverse flow direction, the flow redirection arrangement comprising at least one flow redirection feature configured to redirect a first stream of the liquid toward the forward flow direction to collide with a second stream of the flow of liquid. The invention also relates to motor assemblies and marine vessels having such exhaust systems.

A marine drive has a primary exhaust outlet on its lower gearcase that discharges a primary flow of exhaust gas from the engine to seawater in which the marine drive is situated. A secondary exhaust outlet is located on the marine drive above the primary exhaust outlet and discharges a secondary flow of exhaust gas from the engine to atmosphere around the marine drive at least when the engine is operated at an idle speed. A tertiary exhaust outlet is located on the marine drive between the primary and secondary exhaust outlets, and discharges a tertiary flow of exhaust gas from the engine to the seawater or to the atmosphere depending upon a current location of the tertiary exhaust outlet with respect to the seawater. A muffler is configured to reduce noise emanating from the tertiary exhaust outlet.

An air-cooled engine generator usable in an enclosed and relatively small indoor space includes an engine including a crank shaft on which a generator and a fan are provided. An outside cover includes a discharge aperture which discharges cooling air generated by the fan, and covers the engine, the generator, the fan, and a cooling section. The cooling section includes a mixing chamber where a coolant introduced from the outside and exhaust gas discharged from an exhaust pipe of the engine mix with each other, and an outer circumferential surface which is cooled by the coolant that is introduced into the mixing chamber. The exhaust gas is mixed with and cooled by the coolant in the mixing chamber while the cooling air which is supposed to be discharged out of the air-cooled engine generator is cooled by the outer circumferential surface of the cooling section.

An intake manifold is connected to a cylinder of an engine, and extends backward from the cylinder. A throttle body is attached to the intake manifold. As seen in a plan view of an outboard motor, the throttle body is disposed backward of a head cover, while being disposed inward of a lateral end of the intake manifold in a right-and-left direction of the outboard motor.
