An outboard motor includes a lower portion including a propeller shaft, an upper portion including a drive source to provide a rotational force to rotate the propeller shaft, and a support portion to rotatably support the lower portion relative to the upper portion about a steering shaft and rotate integrally with the lower portion. The upper portion includes a water pump assembly to suck up water from the lower portion through the support portion and supply the water to the drive source. When viewed along a shaft line direction of the steering shaft, the water pump assembly overlaps the lower portion at a first rotation position of the lower portion with respect to the upper portion, and at least a portion of the water pump assembly does not overlap the lower portion at a second rotation position of the lower portion with respect to the upper portion.
