ABSTRACT:
A shift operation control system for an outboard motor, which is capable of reducing a load acting on a shift operation lever during a shift operation and a shock occurring during the shift operation, to thereby facilitate the shift operation. The shift operation by the shift operation lever (21) is continuously detected by a shift position detector (24), and when an early stage of the shift operation from the forward position to the neutral position or from the reverse position to the neutral position is detected and at the same time the engine speed at the detection is not less than a predetermined value, engine output reduction control is carried out, and when the shift position detector (24) detects that the shift position has been switched to the neutral position, the engine output reduction control is canceled.
