A protective apparatus for outboard boat motors or inboard-outboard boat drives is described. The protective apparatus comprises a hollow housing composed of a rigid resilient material arranged to be fitted over the outboard portion of a boat drive system. Of note is that the protective apparatus is arranged to be fitted over outboard motors as well as inboard-outboard drive systems and includes a foam liner for fitting the housing tightly around the outboard portion. As a result of this arrangement, the protective apparatus reduces the exposure of the outboard portion to the elements, such as rain, sun and snow which can damage the boat drive system. Furthermore, the protective apparatus protects the outboard portion from fresh water and salt water marine life such as mollusks. The protective apparatus is also arranged to be resilient enough to resist blows from rocks during transport of the boat to the docking area. Thus, the protective apparatus greatly reduces the exposure of the outboard portion of the boat drive system to potentially damaging elements, thereby significantly reducing frequency of repair. Furthermore, the protective apparatus is arranged so as to enclose the bolts and/or wires that connect the boat drive system to the transform of the boat so that the protective apparatus also acts as a theft deterrent device.

La présente invention a pour objet une enveloppe protectrice pour moteurs hors-bord et propulseurs semi-hors-bord. L'enveloppe protectrice en question comporte un espace intérieur défini par un matériau rigide et résilient et est configurée de manière à s'ajuster par-dessus la partie externe d'un système de propulsion de bateau. L'enveloppe protectrice en question peut être ajustée tant sur les moteurs hors-bord que sur les propulseurs semi-hors-bord; celle-ci comporte une doublure en mousse qui est destinée à épouser la forme des composants externes. L'enveloppe protectrice ainsi configurée contribue à réduire l'exposition des composants externes aux éléments tels la pluie, le soleil et la neige, lesquels sont susceptibles d'endommager le système de propulsion. En outre, l'enveloppe protectrice en question protège les composants externes contre la faune et la flore aquatiques ou marines, comme les mollusques, par exemple. L'enveloppe protectrice en question possède une résilience suffisante pour résister aux chocs des cailloux pouvant survenir en cours de transport vers le débarcadère. L'enveloppe protectrice en question diminue donc significativement l'exposition des composants du système de propulsion aux risques d'avaries, ce diminue significativement la fréquence des réparations. En outre, l'enveloppe protectrice est configurée de manière à recouvrir les organes de fixation et de retenue tels boulons et câbles, ce qui est de nature à contribuer à la prévention du vol.
