Abstract: An outboard motor includes a lower portion including a propeller shaft, an upper portion including a drive source to provide a rotational force to rotate the propeller shaft, and a support portion to rotatably support the lower portion relative to the upper portion about a steering shaft and rotate integrally with the lower portion. The upper portion includes a water pump assembly to suck up water from the lower portion through the support portion and supply the water to the drive source. When viewed along a shaft line direction of the steering shaft, the water pump assembly overlaps the lower portion at a first rotation position of the lower portion with respect to the upper portion, and at least a portion of the water pump assembly does not overlap the lower portion at a second rotation position of the lower portion with respect to the upper portion.

Abstract: A coaxial multicore receptacle is provided which has a plurality of ground pins set upright on an insulating substrate and arranged in a matrix pattern, a plurality of signal pins set upright on the substrate each being located at the center of each box of the matrix pattern, first metallic lattice boards provided perpendicularly to the substrate each being positioned correspondingly to and above each column of the ground pins, and second metallic lattice boards provided perpendicularly to the substrate each being positioned correspondingly to and above each row of the ground pins. The first and second lattice boards cross one another orthogonally to define angular coaxial contact insertion holes surrounded by the boards and arranged in the matrix pattern. Each of the first lattice boards is formed with notches in the end portion on the side of the substrate to provide ground pin contact springs which are in elastic contact with the corresponding ground pins.
