Abstract
A propulsion device support mechanism includes: a support member configured to support a propulsion device of a hull such that the propulsion device is swingable relative to the hull by forward and backward movement of a rod. The support member includes a receiving portion that receives a top end portion of the rod. The receiving portion has a convex surface protruding toward the top end portion of the rod. The convex surface has a uniform shape regardless of a position in a direction along a shaft of the support member such that the top end portion of the rod and the convex surface are in line contact.
