Abstract
A center frame fixed to a lower end of a swivel shaft of an outboard engine system by a bolt includes a swivel shaft extension extending downwards from the lower end of the swivel shaft , and a core metal which extends laterally from a lower end of the swivel shaft extension and has a lower mount rubber integrally baked thereto. The lower mount rubber is restrained on a rear surface of the extension case . Thus, the distance between an upper mount rubber mounted at an upper portion of the swivel shaft and the lower mount rubber mounted at a lower portion of the swivel shaft can be increased without downward extension of the swivel shaft itself to enhance the anti-vibration effect, while avoiding an increase in extra weight and an increase in cost.
