Abstract:
An outdrive for a marine vessel, such as a watercraft having an inboard engine, is provided. The outdrive can include a standoff box joined with a drive unit having a driveshaft that rotates in response to rotation of an input shaft coupled to an engine within a hull of the watercraft. The drive unit includes a propeller shaft that rotates in response to rotation of the driveshaft, and an associated propeller. The drive unit is vertically movable from a raised mode to a lowered mode, in which the propeller shaft is a preselected distance from a bottom of the boat hull, thereby lowering a thrust point produced by the propeller, all while the watercraft is moving through water and while the propeller is producing thrust. A related method and standoff box are also provided.

Claim (Index 9):
The outdrive of  claim 1 ,\n wherein the upper standoff box unit includes a bottom wall defining a bottom wall hole, wherein the transfer shaft is disposed through the wall hole, wherein the transfer shaft moves linearly through the hole when the outdrive translates from the raised mode to the lowered mode.
