An outboard motor (10) comprises a pedestal (24) that is attached to a transom of a boat, a motor support platform that is attached to the outboard motor (10), and a steering mechanism (60,64,66) that is attached to both the pedestal (24) and the motor support platform. It comprises a hydraulic tilting mechanism (51,52,61,62) that is attached to the motor support platform and to the outboard motor (10). The outboard motor (10) is rotatable about a tilt axis (40) relative to both the pedestal (24) and the motor support platform. A hydraulic pump (600) is connected in fluid communication with the hydraulic tilting mechanism (51,52,61,62) to provide pressurized fluid to cause the outboard motor (10) to rotate about its tilting axis (40). An electric motor (610) is connected in torque transmitting relation with the hydraulic pump (600). Both the electric motor (610) and the hydraulic pump (600) are disposed within the steering mechanism (60,64,66). <IMAGE>
