<p>An outboard motor includes an engine (2) including a vertically extending crankshaft (24), a rope reel (15, 32), a transmitting member (16, 33), a force accumulation spiral spring (17, 34), and an engine cover (7) arranged to cover these components. The rope reel (15, 32) includes a plate portion (15d, 32b) arranged to be rotatable about the rotational center axis (C) of the crankshaft (24) and a rope winding portion (15f, 32e) provided integrally with the plate portion (15d, 32b) at the peripheral edge thereof and arranged to be wound with a rope (14) to start the engine (2). The transmitting member (16, 33) is arranged to be rotatable about the rotational center axis (C) of the crankshaft (24) and to transmit rotation to the crankshaft (24). The force accumulation spiral spring (17, 34) is disposed on the opposite side of the engine (2) with respect to the plate portion (15d, 32b) of the rope reel (15, 32). The force accumulation spiral spring (17, 34) is arranged to accumulate a torque applied to the rope reel (15, 32) and transmit the torque to the transmitting member (16, 33), first and second ends of the spring being fixed, respectively, to the rope reel (15, 32) and the transmitting member (16, 33).</p> |
