The present invention relates to a mounting system for connecting an outboard motor to a marine vessel. In one aspect, the mounting system comprises: a swivel bracket structure having a steering tube structure and providing a steering axis about which the swivel bracket structure is capable of rotating; a pair of clamp bracket structures extending from the swivel bracket structure; a first steering yoke structure connected to the swivel bracket structure by way the steering tube structure, and including a first crosspiece mounting structure that includes a pair of first steering yoke structure mount portions which can be used to couple the swivel bracket structure to the outboard motor, the pair of first steering yoke structure mount portions separated by a first distance; and a second steering yoke structure connected to the swivel bracket structure by way of the steering tube structure, and including a second steering yoke structure mount portion which can be used to couple the swivel bracket structure to the outboard motor, the second steering yoke structure mount portion positioned between the pair of first steering yoke structure mount portions. The invention also relates to an outboard motor comprising: an internal combustion engine; first and second transmission components, wherein an aft surface of the internal combustion engine is attached to the first transmission component, wherein the first transmission component is attached to the second transmission component, and wherein the second transmission component is further attached, at least indirectly by an additional member, to the internal combustion engine; and a mounting system according to the invention coupled at least indirectly to one or more of the internal combustion engine, first transmission component, and second transmission component.
