ABSTRACT:
An air intake system for an engine of an outboard motor includes an air intake support member that provides support for other components of the air intake system. The other component of the air intake system that can be supported by the air intake support member include a throttle valve assembly, plenum chambers, and air intake passages. The air intake passages can be made longer to increase engine performance and can be manufactured with less material because the air intake passages do not need to provide support for the air intake system.
