Abstract: A trim-tilt device includes a first electric motor electrically connected to a power source and tilts an outboard motor body in an up-and-down direction. A steering device includes a second electric motor electrically connected to the power source. The steering device turns the outboard motor body in a right-and-left direction. A fuel pump is electrically connected to the power source, and supplies fuel to an engine. A controller limits an inrush current into the first electric motor using a PWM control for a predetermined period of time from a starting time point of an input current into the first electric motor.

Abstract: An outboard motor includes an engine and a casing. The engine includes a cylinder unit, ahead cover and an ignition coil device. The cylinder unit is made of metal. The head cover is made of resin and is attached to the cylinder unit. The ignition coil device is attached to the head cover. The casing is made of resin and covers the engine. The coil ignition device includes a radiated noise reducer portion. The radiated noise reducer portion is configured to reduce noise that is radiated from the ignition coil device.

Abstract: A marine vessel propulsion device includes an engine, a propeller shaft, a drive shaft that is rotated by power transmitted from the engine, a dog clutch that transmits rotation of the drive shaft to the propeller shaft, and an engine load generating unit. The engine load generating unit detects relative rotation speed between the drive shaft and the propeller shaft, and generates an engine load opposite in phase to the relative rotation speed detected therebetween.
