ABSTRACT:
In an outboard marine engine having a vertically oriented crankshaft, a bracket for supporting an AC generator is provided with a pair of cantilever arms for supporting a pivoted portion and a fixed portion of the AC generator, and a belt cover for the engine is partly supported by extensions of these cantilever arms. The bracket is typically mounted to a portion of the crankcase defining a corner between a vertical end surface and a horizontal top surface. By thus securing the belt cover to the bracket for securing the AC generator, it is possible to firmly support the belt cover and prevent undesirable rattling or vibration of the belt cover because the bracket is given with a sufficient rigidity from the need to firmly support the electric generator. Therefore, the firm support of the belt cover can be accomplished without any substantial cost increase.
