Abstract
An outboard motor comprises an engine cover having an air intake opening for taking in air, an engine disposed in the engine cover, and an AC generator disposed in the engine cover for generating electricity to drive the engine. A cooling air guide member is disposed in the engine cover for guiding the air taken in by the air intake opening towards the AC generator. The cooling air guide member has a bottom wall, a pair of side walls extending upwardly from opposite side edges of the bottom wall, and an opening extending through the bottom wall so that the air taken in by the intake opening is guided by the side walls and the bottom wall to flow through the opening to cool the AC generator.
