Shallow water drive on small tiller outboard?

[mays]

I have seen in several adds for small outboards that they have a "shallow water drive". Can anyone tell me how this works?

It allows you to tilt the engine up so you can run in water where it normally would not with the engine tilted all the way down in the normal running position.
