Abstract:
In an outboard motor having a four cycle power head, a drive shaft housing and an adapter plate therebetween, an oil sump in the drive shaft housing and a lubricating oil system to supply oil to the bearings of the power head, a baffle system including the adapter plate and a second planar baffle between the adapter plate and the drive shaft housing. Oil passages through the adapter plate and the second baffle are positioned on opposite sides of the power head from each other and are longitudinally separated from each other so that the oil will not flow from the oil sump back over the baffles and into the power head when the motor is horizontal.
