OUTBOARD MOTOR

摘要

Provided is an outboard motor such that mounting work can be easily performed while increasing engine efficiency. An outboard motor (10) according to the present invention is provided with an upstream-side duct (42) secured to an engine upper cover (27), and a downstream-side duct (43) secured to an engine (14) side. The upstream-side duct (42) is provided with a discharge opening (52) that is opened laterally. The downstream-side duct (43) is provided with a downstream-side lower duct (59) including an inlet (61) disposed at a position opposite the discharge opening (52) and spaced apart from the discharge opening (52) by a predetermined distance, and a downstream-side upper duct (60) including a discharge opening formed above the downstream-side lower duct (59) and facing a throttle body of the engine (14). The upstream-side duct (42) and the downstream-side duct (43) are formed so as not to interfere with each other when the engine upper cover (27) is moved in a vertical direction.
