Abstract
A boat has a rear platform including a pivotable hatch. A marine outboard engine has a bumper connected to the engine unit housing. When mounted to the boat, the marine outboard engine is located under the hatch and is pivotable from a trim range to a tilt range. When the hatch is in a closed position and the marine outboard engine is in the tilt range, pivoting the marine outboard engine upwardly to a first engine position causes the bumper to abut a bottom surface of the hatch. Pivoting the marine outboard engine upwardly from the first engine position to a second engine position causes the bumper to push up on the bottom surface of the hatch and to slide against the bottom surface of the hatch, thereby pivoting the hatch from the closed position to an open position.
