Genius in it’s simplicity! It’s like a manual trans stuck inside a differential.

That’s a great video. Most sterndrives shift the same way, although some have evolved... it would be a nice thing to have been able to show people when I used to get the question, “why does my brand-new engine make a terrible grgrgrrrrrrrrrCLUNK going into gear? Don’t tell me that’s normal!”
Yes, yes it is normal.

I think most people think transmissions mesh and unmesh gears to shift, when that is actually quite rare these days. They either spline/unspline or clutch them in. Yes, I own a car where there are non-constant mesh gears.

That was the perfect video. I’ve never had a boat, so I never actually though about how the gear selction worked. Three minutes later, and Mike now knows.
The only thing wrong now, is it kicked some bit of information out of my full brain that I will discover later that I no longer know.
Like my wife’s birthday, or something I was supposed to pick up at the store.

Then you have the supercharged LS powered Seven Marine which has a separate transmission so the gearing in the lower unit stays fixed.

Same basic mechanism, they just added a stage so they can have larger teeth where they can,the two pinions to handle the power.
