Abstract
An outboard motor includes a cowling substantially enclosing an engine therein. The engine has an air induction device for introducing air to a combustion chamber, and an exhaust system for communicating exhaust products away from the combustion chamber. The air induction device has an intake opening near a front end of the engine. The cowling has an air inlet at a rear portion of the cowling. An air guide member is disposed between the cowling air inlet and an engine cover, which is positioned atop the engine. The air guide member and engine cover cooperate to direct air toward a rear and center of the engine.
