ABSTRACT:
A forward and reverse drive switching device for an outboard motor can include a switching mechanism that is actuated so as to set a propeller to a forward drive mode or a reverse drive mode. An actuator can have an electric motor and can serve as a drive source for the switching mechanism. A coupling member can transmit a driving force from the actuator to the switching mechanism to actuate the switching mechanism. The coupling member can include a rod disposed on an axis of the electric motor and can have an end coupled to the switching mechanism with its other end coupled to the electric motor to permit retracting and extending movements of the rod along the axis through the operation of the electric motor.
