An outboard motor is provided, including a device for removably coupling a first cowl member to a cowl member.

The main features of the invention are the cowl assembly and attachment device described above. These provide easy installation and removal of the cover, improved vibration and noise isolation, and improved powerhead sealing.

Another major feature of the invention is the above-described grommet arrangement for coupling external devices, such as a fuel tank or a remote control system, to the engine. This arrangement eliminates the need for disassembly of the fuel system or remote control system when removing the motor cover.

Another main feature of the invention is the device for mounting the cowl member on the side of the propulsion unit. This is advantageous because large outboard motors are typically lifted by a forklift truck that has forks installed under the lower cowl member and extending in a bow and stern direction on each side of the propulsion unit. For outboard motors having a lower cowl member that is coupled to the driveshaft housing below the powerhead or engine,
The lifting is driven by a fork. Being located outside the powerhead at a distance consisting of the point where the lower cowl member joins the shaft housing or propulsion unit can create significant stresses in the lower cowl member. This problem is eliminated by the present invention because the lower cowl member is mounted on the side of the propulsion unit, particularly on the side of the driveshaft housing and powerhead. Therefore, the forklift truck is installed almost directly below the point where the lower cowl member is joined to the propulsion unit, and therefore the lifting force is accompanied by a slight stress applied to the lower cowl member. It is transmitted almost directly to the propulsion unit.

Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from studying the following detailed description, claims, and drawings.
