Disclosed herein is an outboard motor including a propulsion unit having an upper unit, a lower unit carrying a propeller, and an elongated, tubular member connecting the upper and lower units. The propulsion unit is pivotally supported by a support assembly from a mounting bracket mounted on a boat hull for movement between an operating position where the tubular member is generally upright outboard of the boat and the lower unit is submerged in the water and a storage position where the tubular member is generally horizontal and the lower unit is located inboard of the boat. The support assembly includes a support member fixedly connected to the tubular member at a location intermediate the upper and lower units, a first sleeve slidably mounted on the tubular member below the support member, a second sleeve slidably mounted on the tubular member above the support member, and a pair of links respectively pivotally connected to the first and second sleeves and pivotally connected at spaced locations to the mounting bracket.
