Engine mount for watercraft

A watercraft comprising a hull having a passengers' area, an engine compartment positioned rearward from the passengers' area, at least one propulsion device supported by the hull, at least one engine disposed within the engine compartment and configured to drive the propulsion device, the engine having an engine body and a crankshaft joumaled for rotation at least partially within the engine body about a generally vertical axis, a gear box having an output shaft extending generally transverse to the generally vertical axis and rearward from the gearbox, the output shaft being driven by the crankshaft of the engine, the engine body being arranged above the gear box, and a plurality of engine mounts connecting the gear box with a mounting surface within the engine compartment, and an exhaust conduit extending at least partially through the gearbox.

A watercraft comprising a hull having a passengers' area, an engine compartment, at least one propulsion device supported by the hull, at least one engine disposed within the engine compartment and configured to drive the propulsion device, the engine having an engine body and a crankshaft journaled for rotation at least partially within the engine body about a generally vertical axis, a gear box having an output shaft extending generally transverse to the generally vertical axis and rearward from the gearbox, the output shaft being driven by the crankshaft of the engine, the engine body being arranged above the gear box, and a lubrication system having a reservoir and being configured to circulate lubricant between the reservoir and at least one lubricant gallery formed within the engine body, the gearbox forming at least part of the lubricant reservoir.
