Abstract

See full text

A marine engine has an intake camshaft, an exhaust camshaft, and a crankshaft. Combustion in the marine engine causes rotation of the crankshaft which in turn causes rotation of the intake camshaft and exhaust camshaft. Rotation of the intake camshaft operates intake valves for controlling inflow of air to the marine engine. Rotation of the exhaust camshaft operates exhaust valves for controlling outflow of exhaust gas from the marine engine. A cam phaser is located at least partially inside at least one of the intake camshaft and the exhaust camshaft and is configured to vary a timing of operation of at least one of the intake valves and exhaust valves.
