Abstract: The present invention concerns an outboard propulsion device for a navigational seacraft comprising a propulsion means (4), at least one engine (1) supplying torque to a drive shaft (20) extending out of the engine and driving a transmission shaft (3) intended to supply torque to the propulsion means, the drive shaft and the propulsion shaft being in a fixed relative orientation, and a transmission means (2) connected at the input to the drive shaft (20) in order to receive the engine torque and transmit it, in the form of modified torque, to the transmission shaft (3) to which it is connected at the output, and the transmission shaft (3) is a double universal joint shaft (30, 31) that extends in an inclined manner between the transmission means (2) and the propulsion means (4).

Abstract: An internal combustion engine having at least one crankcase for defining a guide housing in which at least one crankshaft is guided in rotation about an axis of rotation and lubricated by a lubricating fluid, the at least one crankcase being of the “dry-sump” type. Such an internal combustion engine has at least two pumps forming a pump train of pumps on a common axis, the pump train being fitted in a cylindrical bore of the at least one crankcase.

Abstract: A cylinder head, an element and a base plate of a longitudinal piston engine having a cylinder head body and a base plate comprising at least one element, the base plate being interposed between a combustion chamber and the cylinder head body, comprising an upper face facing the cylinder head body and an opposing lower face arranged to face the combustion chamber and being attached to the cylinder head body, the cylinder head body being made from a material with a mass density and hardness that are less than those of the material constituting the base plate. The base plate and the body are assembled by screws for fastening the base plate to the cylinder head that are located towards the periphery of the base plate and of the body and by at least one part for fastening the cylinder head to the base plate including a threaded end designed to be engaged in a corresponding orifice of the base plate, said orifice being located closer to the center of the base plate than the fastening screws.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a combustion engine which includes at least one crankshaft rotating about a first rotation shaft; at least one output shaft outputting an engine torque, said output shaft rotating about a second rotation shaft separate from said first rotation shaft; at least one transmission assembly rotating about said first rotation shaft and being rotated by said crankshaft in order to transmit said engine torque to said output shaft.
