A number of embodiments of outboard motors embodying pressure scavenged 2-cycle internal combustion engines. In each embodiment, a plenum chamber serves the scavenge passages of the engine and the pressure relief for a scavenge pump is provided by a pressure relief valve in the plenum chamber so as to reduce the opening and closing of the pressure relief valve due to pulsations caused by the engine operation. In one embodiment, the pressure is relieved by discharging the air to the exhaust system for silencing and also for cooling the exhaust gases. In other embodiments, the air for pressure relief is discharged to the atmosphere.
