ABSTRACT:
An outboard motor powered by an engine positioned within a cowling is disclosed. The engine has a block with a cylinder head attached at one side, the block and cylinder head defining vertically arranged combustion chambers. Air intake runners extend from an intake plenum along one side of the engine to intake passages leading through the cylinder head to the combustion chambers. An exhaust system including an exhaust manifold extending from exhaust passages leading through the cylinder head from the combustion chambers is positioned on the side of the engine opposite the runners. A fuel pump is also positioned on the side of the engine with the exhaust system, and an alternator is positioned between the fuel pump and the exhaust system. The runners are separated in the vertical direction, with an oil filter or one or more other engine components positioned therebetween.
