Abstract
An outboard motor includes an outboard motor main body, a mount, a turning mechanism, an electric actuator, and a controller. The mount attaches the outboard motor main body to a hull. The outboard motor is turnable around a tilt shaft. The turning mechanism turns the outboard motor main body around the tilt shaft to incline the outboard motor main body. The electric actuator supplies a driving force to the turning mechanism. The outboard motor includes an inclination angle sensor that detects an inclination angle of the outboard motor main body. The controller energizes the electric actuator in response to an operation switch and performs energization limiting control to limit energization of the electric actuator when a magnitude of a rate of change of the inclination angle is equal to or less than a predetermined determination threshold for a predetermined duration of time.
