An outboard propulsion system 1 comprises a first portion 2 for attachment to a boat comprising a stern and comprising an engine 3 including a crankshaft 4 and a second portion 5 comprising at least one propeller shaft 6, 106 having a longitudinal axis along the elongate length of the at least one propeller shaft. The at least one propeller shaft is operably connected to the crankshaft and the second portion is configured to pivot relative to the first portion about a steering axis 8, to steer the boat in use. The steering axis intersects the longitudinal axis of the at least one propeller shaft at an obtuse angle β and the first portion and second portion are configured to tilt together about a single axis of rotation 10 substantially parallel to the stern of the boat. The first portion is fixed about a substantially vertical axis.
