Outboard motor

An outboard motor comprising:

• a steering shaft extending in an up-down direction;
• an outboard motor main body that rotates around a centerline of the steering shaft together with the steering shaft and that includes a prime mover that generates power to rotate a propeller;
• a steering arm that extends forward from the steering shaft and that turns around the centerline of the steering shaft together with the steering shaft;
• a steering actuator including a movable body that moves in a right-left direction;
• and
• a motion converter that converts a movement of the movable body in the right-left direction into a turning motion of the steering arm around the centerline of the steering shaft, and that includes a bushing holder in which the steering arm extends in a front-rear direction and a bushing interposed between the steering arm and the bushing holder and including an outer surface provided with a pair of first sliding portions each including a convex arc-shaped vertical section that is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the right-left direction.
