An outboard propulsion system comprises a first portion 20 for attachment to a boat, wherein the first portion is fixed about a substantially vertical axis 14, and a second portion 50 connected to the first portion and configured to rotate about a steering axis 16. The first portion comprises a sealed housing 40 enclosing a member (30A, 30B, Fig 3) having a longitudinal axis 32 relative to which it may move and the second portion comprises a gear (60, Fig 3) configured to engage with the member such that movement of the member relative to its longitudinal axis generates rotational movement of the gear about the steering axis. A conduit (80, 81, Fig 5), providing fluid communication between the first and second portions, is provided and passes through an aperture (62, Fig 5) in the gear.
