Outboard motor and boat

An outboard motor comprising:

• an engine;
• and
• a plurality of fuel supply mechanisms each including a suction pump to suck in liquid fuel stored in a fuel tank in a hull, a vapor separator tank to store liquid fuel sucked in by the suction pump and separate the liquid fuel and vapor, and a supply pump to supply the liquid fuel stored in the vapor separator tank to the engine;
• wherein
• the vapor separator tank in each of the plurality of fuel supply mechanisms includes:
• an introduction hole to communicate with the suction pump;
• a float;
• and
• an opening/closing valve that moves to a closing position to close the introduction hole and an opening position to open the introduction hole according to an up/down movement of the float;
• the outboard motor is tiltable around a tilt shaft;
• and
• the vapor separator tank further includes a pivot arm between the tilt shaft and the float in a front-rear direction to support the float and allow the float to pivot about a pivot shaft along the tilt shaft.
