ABSTRACT:
An outboard motor has a cowling comprising a top cowl that is removably engagable with a bottom cowl. A mating portion of the top cowl and the bottom cowl is sealed when the top and bottom cowls are engaged so as to prevent or inhibit water from entering the cowling through the mating portion. A splash-proof rib portion is attached to an inner face of the top cowl and extends downwardly preferably around the entire periphery of the top cowl. The depending rib portion is disposed inside of the upper end of the bottom cowl when the top cowl is mounted on the bottom cowl.
