An outboard motor is steerably mounted to a hull via a bracket and a steering arm is mounted to a steering bracket unit attached to the outboard motor. The steering arm includes a shift grip as a shift operating unit, a throttle grip as a throttle operating unit and a throttle adjusting knob as a throttle adjusting operating unit. These units are adjacently disposed in the described order in a forward direction of a hull.

Steering arm structure of outboard motor

An outboard motor includes an engine, an engine holder disposed below the engine, a drive shaft housing which is disposed below the engine holder, an intake device including an intake manifold disposed to a side surface of the engine, a lubricant supply device for supplying lubricant oil to the engine, an oil filter disposed below the intake manifold, and an oil cooler arranged below the intake manifold and between the engine and the oil filter. The oil cooler includes a casing and a cooler body disposed inside the casing, and the casing is formed with a cooling water flowing-in union and a cooling water flowing-out union disposed in correspondence with the cooling water flowing-in union.

Outboard motor

In an outboard motor, a fuel tank is disposed inside an engine cover so as to extend vertically along an axial direction of a crankshaft and arranged in a space in the engine cover in front of the engine on a hull side. The fuel tank is clamped and supported from the vertical direction by a lower engine cover section of the engine cover and an engine starting device disposed above the engine.
