ABSTRACT:
An outboard motor incorporates an engine. An exhaust conduit is disposed below the engine. The exhaust conduit forms a first exhaust passage to discharge exhaust gases from the engine. A plastic lubricant pan (e.g., oil pan) is disposed below the engine to accumulate lubricant that lubricates a portion of the engine. The lubricant pan at least in part surrounds the exhaust conduit. In some embodiments, a protective member is provided to protect the lubricant pan from flames that descend from the engine toward the exhaust conduit or heat of the exhaust gases. In other embodiments, a protective member includes an exhaust conduit that generally shields the lubricant pan such that the lubricant pan is not exposed to the flames or the exhaust gases.
