Abstract
Two embodiments of a cowling and air inlet device for a power head of an outboard motor are disclosed and described which include an air inlet open only on one or both sides of the cowling so as to insure adequate air induction to the engine but to prevent water from entering the interior of the cowling and the engine induction system. The air inlet is formed in a upper rear surface of the cowling and has formed therein an air intake duct for supplying air to the engine induction system. A cover is positioned above the air intake duct to cooperate in defining a flow path for air through the air inlet to the air intake duct and to prevent foreign objects from falling in the air intake duct.
