Two embodiments of protective cowling arrangements for outboard motors that provide a forwardly facing air inlet having a lower inlet atmospheric inlet opening which communicates with a higher atmospheric air passage that extends through the protective cowling to its interior. A plurality of horizontal baffles assist in water separation for the inducted air and additional air may be inducted through a rear air inlet opening in the protective cowling.
