Abstract
A marine engine includes a first turbocharger, a first intercooler, a second turbocharger, a second intercooler, an oil filter, and a top cover. The first turbocharger and the second turbocharger supply air by using an exhaust gas. The first intercooler and the second intercooler cool gases having passed through the turbochargers, respectively. The top cover is a cover arranged in an upper region of the marine engine. These devices are arranged so as not to overlap one another when seen in the thickness direction of the top cover.

- a first turbocharger that supplies air by using an exhaust gas;
- a first intercooler into which a gas having passed through the first turbocharger flows, the first intercooler cooling the gas whose temperature has been elevated in the first turbocharger;
- a second turbocharger into which a gas having passed through the first intercooler flows, the second turbocharger supplying air by using an exhaust gas;
- a second intercooler into which a gas having passed through the second turbocharger flows, the second intercooler cooling the gas whose temperature has been elevated in the second turbocharger;
- an oil filter that filters an engine oil;
- and
- a plate-like cover that covers a valve cover positioned above a cylinder head,
- wherein the first turbocharger, the first intercooler, the second turbocharger, the second intercooler, and the oil filter being arranged so as not to overlap one another in a crank axis direction,
