ABSTRACT:
A cowling arrangement for an outboard motor for use in powering a watercraft is disclosed. The motor has an engine and a water propulsion device, the engine having an output shaft arranged to drive the water propulsion device. The engine has a body with a top end and a bottom end, the output shaft extending above the top end. A flywheel is connected to the output shaft at the top end of the engine, and a flywheel cover is positioned over the flywheel and supported by the engine body. The cowling defines an engine compartment in which the engine is positioned and has an opening therein. A starter panel is connected to the flywheel and supported solely thereby, the starter panel cooperating with the cowling to close the opening therein, the starter panel supporting at least one component of a starter for the engine.
