An "engine" is usually an internal combustion engine, like a gasoline or diesel engine. It has pistons that reciprocate in cylinders due to the combustion process occurring in the cylinders. The reciprocating pistons turn a crankshaft. Since this question is posted in the Boats & Boating section, one would assume that the engine you are asking about will be used to turn a propeller. The propeller may be connected directly to the shaft of the engine or may be turned through a set of gears. In other applications the shaft may be connected to a motor, and used to turn the motor to generate electricity.
