Abstract

See full text

A shift assistor for a shifting mechanism of a watercraft outboard drive provides a simply structured and compact device which establishes engagement of the transmission under a resilient force and disengagement under a positive force. The shift assistor includes a shift plunger which is coupled to a shift operator and an actuator casing which is coupled to the transmission. A detent coupling is directly operable between the plunger and the casing to couple the plunger to the casing when the transmission is engaged either in the forward or reverse drive directions, and to release the plunger from the casing when the transmission is disengaged.
