Abstract
An outboard motor includes an engine housed in a cowling and disposed above an upper case housing a driveshaft. A gear mechanism transmits a rotation of the driveshaft to a propeller shaft housed in a lower case disposed below the upper case. The gear mechanism is housed in an oil storage chamber of the lower case and is lubricated by a lubricating oil inside the oil storage chamber. An oil passage includes a lower oil port opening at the oil storage chamber, an upper oil port positioned higher than the lower case, and a longitudinal passage extending in an up/down direction inside the lower case.
