A marine engine includes a cylinder block having first and second banks of cylinders disposed along a longitudinal axis and extending transversely relative to each other in a V-shape so as to define a valley there between, and first and second exhaust logs in which exhaust gas from the first and second banks of cylinders are collected and conveyed. An exhaust manifold is located in the V-shape and configured to merge said exhaust gases from the first and second exhaust logs and to convey said exhaust gases. The exhaust manifold has a first inlet port that receives substantially all said exhaust gas from the first exhaust log and a second exhaust inlet port that receives substantially all said exhaust gas from the second exhaust log. The first and second inlet ports are longitudinally offset relative to each other.

A cowl latching system is provided which facilitates the installation of a removable cowl with respect to a stationary cowl structure and allows these two components to be locked together as a result of a simple downward movement in a vertical direction of the removable cowl with respect to the stationary structure. Removal of the removable cowl is also facilitated by allowing these components to be disengaged from each other as a result of a rotation of the removable cowl relative to the stationary cowl structure after a manually operable latch is released.
