    摘要: A controller is configured or programmed to obtain at least either of a pitch angle of a watercraft and an angular velocity of the pitch angle, obtain a present thrust of an outboard motor, and set a target thrust of the outboard motor based on the present thrust of the outboard motor and at least either of the pitch angle of the watercraft and the angular velocity of the pitch angle. The controller is configured or programmed to control a drive source such that a thrust of the outboard motor becomes the target thrust.

    摘要: In an outboard motor, a feed passage, through which a lubricating oil that flows upward from a gear mechanism due to rotation of the gear mechanism is fed upward from a gear chamber, includes a first feed passage, extending from the gear chamber to a connection passage via a first upstream passage, a spiral passage, and an interior of an upper bearing, in that order, and a second feed passage, extending from the first upstream passage to the connection passage while bypassing the spiral passage via a bypass passage. The bypass passage is positioned farther outward than the spiral passage in a radial direction of the driveshaft. A diameter of a cross section of the bypass passage that is orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to a center line of the driveshaft is smaller than a maximum diameter of the driveshaft.

    摘要: A system includes an outboard motor, an actuator, a sensor, and a controller. The sensor detects motion information indicating an up-and-down directional motion of a bow of a watercraft. The controller is configured or programmed to selectively set either a trim-up direction or a trim-down direction as a trim direction in accordance with the up-and-down directional motion of the bow based on the motion information. The controller is configured or programmed to control the actuator to cause the outboard motor to perform a trim motion in the trim direction, and to set a duration of the trim motion to be different between when the outboard motor is caused to perform the trim motion in the trim-up direction and when the outboard motor is caused to perform the trim motion in the trim-down direction.

    摘要: An outboard motor includes an engine, a drive shaft, and a shift shaft disposed forward of the drive shaft. The shift shaft includes a first shift shaft that extends in an upward-downward direction, a second shift shaft disposed below the first shift shaft and spaced apart from and rearward of the first shift shaft, the second shift shaft extending in the upward-downward direction, and a shift force transmission to transmit, to the second shift shaft, a shift force applied to the first shift shaft.

    摘要: An engine includes a crankshaft extending in a vertical direction. A drive shaft is connected to the crankshaft and coaxial with the crankshaft. A water intake passage is connected to the engine. A water pump is connected to the water intake passage. The water pump includes a pump shaft. The pump shaft is eccentrically mounted with respect to the drive shaft and parallel or substantially parallel to the drive shaft. The pump shaft rotates according to rotation of the drive shaft.
