Abstract
An outboard motor includes an engine and a housing unit mounted on an associated watercraft. An intermediate unit is coupled with the housing unit to support the engine above the housing unit. An exhaust conduit discharging exhaust gases from the engine depends from the intermediate unit to extend generally vertically within the housing unit. The intermediate unit defines a coolant passage having a discharge port spaced apart from an outer surface of the exhaust conduit. A guide member is arranged to guide the coolant discharged from the discharge port toward the outer surface of the exhaust conduit.
