Abstract

An outboard motor has a vertical-shaft vee engine unit provided with a crankshaft arranged approximately vertically and left and right cylinder units aligned to be open backward in a “V” shape as seen in a plan view. A surge tank and an air intake system unit provided with an intake pipe to connect the surge tank to intake ports of the left and right cylinder heads are arranged in a center of a width direction of a rear side of the engine unit. In addition, an electronic control unit is arranged in an approximate center of a height direction in the right side of the air intake system unit. Furthermore, a high-pressure fuel filter is arranged in an approximate center of a height direction in the left side of the air intake system unit. Moreover, a vapor separator embedded with a high-pressure fuel pump is arranged under the high-pressure fuel filter.
