Abstract: An outboard motor includes a steering mechanism including a pinion located in a central portion of an outboard motor body in a right-left direction and operable to rotate together with the outboard motor body, and a rack operable to linearly move to rotate the pinion, and extending along a forward-rearward direction of the outboard motor body.

Abstract: An outboard motor includes an outboard motor main body and a mount assembly to mount the outboard motor main body to a hull. The mount assembly includes a clamp bracket to be fixed to the hull, a swivel bracket to support the outboard motor main body, and a hydraulic cylinder. The swivel bracket is coupled to the clamp bracket through a tilt shaft and turnable around the tilt shaft. The hydraulic cylinder is located between the clamp bracket and the swivel bracket and is able to turn the swivel bracket around the tilt shaft with respect to the clamp bracket. The outboard motor includes a gas damper to damp an external force that acts in a telescopic direction of the hydraulic cylinder.

Abstract: An outboard motor includes an oil chamber, an oil passage connected to the oil chamber via an oil passage connection port, and an air guide, located in a vicinity of or adjacent to the oil passage connection port in a right-left direction of an outboard motor body, to guide air remaining in the oil chamber to the oil passage connection port when hydraulic oil is discharged from the oil chamber via the oil passage.

Abstract: An outboard motor includes an outboard motor body, a steering shaft, a steering cylinder including a piston rod extending in a right-left direction of the outboard motor body, a piston fixed to the piston rod, and a cylinder body including an oil chamber and the piston therein, and an oil passage inside the piston rod and connected to the oil chamber. The steering cylinder is operable to rotate the steering shaft and the outboard motor body in the right-left direction by adjusting an amount of oil in the oil chamber and moving the cylinder body in the right-left direction.
