Abstract: A surfacing marine drive has a drive housing (20) with a fore exhaust passage (230) forward of the vertical bore (26) housing the driveshaft (36), right and left exhaust passages (232 and 234) extending rearwardly from the fore exhaust passage (230) on opposite right and left sides of the vertical bore (26), and an aft exhaust passage (236) extending rearwardly from the right and left exhaust passages (232 and 234) and aft of the vertical bore (26) and discharging exhaust into dual counterrotating surface operating propellers (12 and 14).

Abstract: A container for sealingly containing a fluid is made from first and second thermoplastic container films bonded together around a rectangular periphery except where an inlet port is formed. A first bonded together portion extends the inlet port along one side, with a plurality of non-bonded together segments spaced therealong. A check valve is provided in each non-bonded together segment. The check valve is made from two rectangular thermoplastic valve films bonded together to form a fluid pipe. The fluid pipe has a tip opening and a valve body to allow flow through the fluid pipe from the tip opening but which prevents a reverse flow. A respective valve film is bonded at the tip opening to an adjacent container film so that the guide tube is fluid tight except for the inlet port and the tip openings. Second bonded together portions are also provided between adjacent check valves in order to form a plurality of container members whose only egress is a respective check valve.
