ABSTRACT:
A heat-discharging electronic component is mounted in an unused space on the side of an engine of an outboard motor without unnecessarily restricting the layout of parts in the outboard motor, or increasing the number of parts or assembly steps. The unused space is a cavity between a side of the engine, an exhaust manifold, and an electronics box spaced apart from the exhaust manifold to form the cavity. The cavity is further defined by a perpendicular projection of a cover member covering the upper portion of the engine. Fixing bolts remain accessible below the cover member when a removable cover is removed, thereby improving accessibility of the heat-generating electronic component. Locating the cavity under the perpendicular projection of the fixed cover member improves protection against the entry of moisture into the heat-generating electronic component.
