ABSTRACT:
An outboard motor has a top cowl and a bottom cowl. A elongate thickened portion protrudes inwardly from an inner surface of the top cowl into an engine compartment. A bottom opening edge of the top cowl mates with the bottom cowl. The elongate thickened portion extends along the length of top cowl from the forward end of the opening edge to a rearward end of the opening edge. A mold for forming the top cowl has an entrance sprue that is located in a position corresponding to the position of one end of an opening edge of the top cowl. An exit sprue of the mold is located in a position corresponding to the position of an opposing end of the opening edge of the top cowl. The mold defines a top cavity and side cavities that are used to mold the top cowl.
