    Abstract: A marine drive is for propelling a marine vessel. The marine drive includes: an engine; an exhaust manifold that conveys exhaust gas from the engine; a cooling jacket on the exhaust manifold, wherein a cooling passage is defined between the cooling jacket and the exhaust manifold; a cooling pump that pumps cooling fluid through the cooling passage so as to cool the exhaust manifold and the exhaust gas; a power steering actuator configured to steer the marine drive relative to the marine vessel; a power steering pump that pumps power steering fluid from a power steering reservoir to the power steering actuator; and a power steering cooler on the exhaust manifold and configured such that the power steering fluid is cooled by the cooling fluid in the cooling passage. In some examples the marine drive is configured for use in an outboard motor.

    Abstract: An exhaust system for a marine propulsion device having an engine and a driveshaft housing. An exhaust manifold having a downstream end with an outer surface conveys exhaust gas from the engine. An exhaust conduit having an upstream end with an outer surface conveys the exhaust gas to the driveshaft housing. A flexible coupler couples the downstream end of the exhaust manifold and the upstream end of the exhaust conduit, retaining a gap between them. A metallic coil is aligned with the flexible coupler, which biases the metallic coil into contact with the outer surfaces of the exhaust manifold and the exhaust conduit to conduct heat between them. First and second clamps engage outer surfaces of the flexible coupler to cause inner surfaces of the flexible coupler to sealingly engage the outer surface of the exhaust manifold, and the outer surface of the exhaust conduit, respectively.

    Abstract: Apparatuses for marine propulsion systems having an internal combustion engine comprise an exhaust conduit conveying exhaust from the internal combustion engine; a cooling jacket on the exhaust conduit; and a cooling passage between the exhaust conduit and the cooling jacket. The cooling passage guides flow of cooling liquid from upstream to downstream towards a location where the cooling liquid is mixed with exhaust in the exhaust conduit. First and second baffles are axially spaced apart and extend transversely with respect to the cooling passage so as to disperse the flow of cooling liquid at the location where the cooling liquid is mixed with the exhaust, thereby reducing reversion of cooling liquid in the exhaust conduit. At least one catalyst and at least one oxygen sensor are disposed in the exhaust conduit. The oxygen sensor is adjacent to and oriented parallel to a downstream face of the catalyst so that exhaust flows perpendicularly across the sensor.
