ABSTRACT:
An outboard motor has an engine and a cover structure comprised of first and second cover members detachably connected to one another to define at least part of an engine compartment accommodating therein at least a portion of the engine. A cover body is mounted on the cover structure and has a tubular portion with an open end through which cables are introduced into the engine compartment. A sealing member extends into the tubular portion of the cover body through the open end for retaining in a sealed state the cables introduced into the engine compartment. The sealing member has an outer peripheral surface and elastically deformable lip portions extending from the outer peripheral surface and contacting an inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion in the region of the open to form a hermetic seal between the lip portions and the inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion.
