ABSTRACT:
Two embodiments of improved compact outboard motors that are designed so that the power head does not encroach into the associated watercraft forwardly of the hull when the motor is tilted up about its tilt axis. In each embodiment, the internal combustion engine of the power head is located in such a way that it can be conveniently serviced and yet will note encroach when the motor is tilted up. In one embodiment, the engine is disposed with its output shaft extending transversely and its cylinders inclined rearwardly. In the other embodiment, the cylinders are aligned and extend vertically so that the engine output shaft extends perpendicularly to the associated hull.
