A marine vessel propulsion apparatus includes an engine, a rotation speed detecting device, a forward-reverse switching mechanism, a shift position detecting device, a liquid supplying device, a flow passage, a physical quantity detecting device, and a controller. The flow passage is arranged such that a liquid is supplied from the liquid supplying device when a crankshaft is rotating in one rotation direction. A physical quantity of the liquid in the flow passage after the forward-reverse switching mechanism has been switched from the forward drive state to the reverse drive state in a state where the crankshaft is rotating is a post-switching physical quantity. The controller executes a reverse rotation prevention control to control at least one of either the engine or the forward-reverse switching mechanism to prevent reverse rotation of the crankshaft in a case where the post-switching physical quantity is less than a predetermined first value.
