An outboard motor is provided with an outboard motor body generating a thrust by rotating a propeller that is driven by an engine mounted to the outboard motor and an attachment device for attaching the outboard motor body to a hull. The outboard motor further includes a mount device including an upper mount and a lower mount arranged between the outboard motor body and the attachment device for attaching the outboard motor body to the hull and configured to support an upper portion and a lower portion of the outboard motor body, respectively. The mount device further includes an anti-vibration unit and a displacement restriction unit, the anti-vibration unit having an anti-vibration mount section that prevents vibration of the engine during low-speed rotation of the engine from being transmitted to the hull, and the displacement restriction unit including a forward-movement side displacement restricting mount section that restricts displacement of the outboard motor body during high-speed rotation of the engine and during forward movement of the hull, a backward-movement side displacement restricting mount section that restricts displacement of the outboard motor body during backward movement of the hull, and a lateral displacement restricting mount section that restricts displacement in a lateral direction including a rolling direction and a yaw direction of the outboard motor body. The lateral displacement restricting mount section and a member opposing to the lateral displacement restricting mount section abut against each other at abutment surfaces thereof, the abutment surfaces being configured to be inclined with respect to a longitudinal direction of the outboard motor body.
