Marine propulsion device

A marine propulsion device comprising:

• a motor including an output shaft;
• a drive shaft extending in a vertical direction of the marine propulsion device;
• a first transmission mechanism configured to transmit a rotation of the output shaft of the motor to the drive shaft,
• a propeller shaft;
• a second transmission mechanism configured to transmit a rotation of the drive shaft to the propeller shaft;
• a propeller;
• and
• a cooling device, wherein
• the motor is disposed so that an extension direction of the output shaft is a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction,
• the first transmission mechanism is disposed in front of the motor,
• the second transmission mechanism is disposed below the first transmission mechanism,
• the drive shaft extends between the first transmission mechanism and the second transmission mechanism,
• the propeller shaft extends rearward from the second transmission mechanism,
• the propeller is provided in a rear part of the propeller shaft, and
• the cooling device includes
• an intake port configured to take water outside the marine propulsion device into the marine propulsion device,
• a motor water jacket provided in the motor and configured to cool the motor,
• a water pump disposed below the motor and configured to send water taken into the marine propulsion device from the intake port to the motor water jacket as cooling water, and
• a first cooling water passage connecting a discharge port of the water pump to an inlet port of the motor water jacket.
