Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1225125A2] In an outboard marine drive, an engine (E) is supported on an engine mount case (5), and an under cover (10) made of plastic material having a lower end attached to the engine mount case defines an open upper end which engages an open lower end of an engine cover (11) also made of plastic material. A metallic stay member (14) having a lower end fixedly attached to the engine mount case which is typically made of cast aluminum alloy and an upper end fixedly supporting a support rail (15) reinforces the open upper end of the under cover. Thus, the essential part is reinforced by a metallic member, and the required mechanical strength can be achieved while minimizing the increase in weight. The upper end of the stay member may be used for attaching a latch unit (17) for securing the engine cover to the under cover or the engine mount case. <IMAGE>
