  • Patent number: 11384694
    Abstract: An auxiliary device system includes a motor generator, an auxiliary device motor, a converter configured to convert electric power generated by the motor generator, an inverter configured to drive the motor generator and the auxiliary device motor, a switch configured to be switched between a motor generator control state in which the inverter controls the motor generator and an auxiliary device motor control state in which the inverter controls the auxiliary device motor, and a controller configured to control the switch. When a condition in which a motor generator drive command is generated is satisfied, the controller sets the switch to the motor generator control state. When the condition is not satisfied, the controller sets the switch to the auxiliary device motor control state.

  • Patent number: 6036558
    Abstract: An outboard motor generally comprises an engine holder to be mounted to a hull, an engine disposed in an upper portion of the engine holder in a mounted state thereof, an oil pan disposed in a lower portion of the engine holder, and a drive-shaft housing disposed below the oil pan and adapted to house a drive shaft of the engine, in which an exhaust gas from the engine is guided to the drive-shaft housing through an exhaust gas passage and the exhaust gas in the drive-shaft housing is discharged outward through an exhaust release passage connected to the drive-shaft housing at a time of low-speed revolution of the engine such as idling operation.

  • Patent number: 5971822
    Abstract: An outboard motor air intake device having a throttle body is located essentially horizontally in front of the engine, and includes a surge tank located on a side part of the throttle body, and an air intake manifold with multiple air intake pipes which extend on one side of the engine from the surge tank to each of the cylinders. A throttle valve is located in the throttle body and the linkage mechanism that operates this throttle valve is located opposite to the engine's air intake manifold, so that the linkage is easy to assemble and maintain.
