Abstract: A steering damper can generate a smaller damping force according to a first damping force characteristic or a larger damping force according to a second damping force characteristic by controlling a flow of hydraulic oil during a steering operation of a steering member. When the associated vehicle is running at a relatively low or medium speed and is not accelerating, and if an operational speed of the steering damper is lower than a predetermined value, damping force according to the first damping force characteristic can be generated in the steering damper. On the other hand, when the operational speed of the steering damper is equal to or higher than the predetermined value, damping force according to the second damping force characteristic can be generated in the steering damper.

Abstract: A tilt and trim device for an outboard motor includes a tilt cylinder and a trim cylinder arranged to raise and lower the outboard motor, a reserve tank, an oil route arranged to allow the tilt cylinder to communicate with the reserve tank, and a branch oil route branched from the oil route and arranged to communicate with the trim cylinder. At least one hydraulic pressure adjustment mechanism is arranged to adjust the hydraulic pressure applied to the trim cylinder via the branch oil route to be equal to or lower than a pressure resistance of the trim cylinder when the outboard motor is forcibly lowered by an external force from a tilt range in which the outboard motor is raised or lowered only by the tilt cylinder.
