Abstract: An outboard motor that significantly reduces or prevents discoloration around an exhaust opening includes an engine, a drive shaft, a propeller shaft, a housing, an exhaust passage, a water intake passage, and a valve. The exhaust passage guides an exhaust gas from the engine toward the discharge chamber inside the housing. The water intake passage guides water, which enters an inside of the housing, to the discharge chamber when a forward propulsive force is generated. The valve regulates passage of the exhaust gas at the first opening due to water pressure when a forward propulsive force is generated. The valve permits the passage of exhaust gas at the first opening due to exhaust pressure when a backward propulsive force is generated.
