To easily and surely adjust variation in neutral positions in shift mechanisms on various outboard motors.SOLUTION: A shift mechanism 48 composing an outboard motor 10 includes: an electrically-driven type actuator 74 for having a movable rod 78 carry out a linear motion; and a shift shaft unit 84 for switching from neutral to forward movement or backward movement based on displacement of the movable rod 78, wherein a neutral adjustment mechanism 120 capable of adjusting a neutral position of the shift mechanism 48 is provided in a separate body to face the shift shaft unit 84. The neutral adjustment mechanism 120 includes first and second adjustment arms 132, 134 supported to be freely rotated against a frame 130 and energized in opposite directions to each other by repulsive force of a coil spring 136, and an adjustment screw 160 attached to the first adjustment arm 132 to which a shift arm 102 is capable of abutting is provided to always abut a contact wall 164 of the second adjustment arm 134 capable of contacting a switch sensor 138.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

    【課題】様々な船外機においてシフト機構におけるニュートラル位置のばらつきを容易且つ確実に調整する。【解決手段】船外機10を構成するシフト機構48は、可動ロッド78を直線運動させる電動式アクチュエータ74と、該可動ロッド78の変位に基づいてニュートラルから前進又は後進へと切り替えるシフトシャフト部84とを備え、前記シフトシャフト部84に臨むように前記シフト機構48のニュートラル位置を調整可能なニュートラル調整機構120が別体で設けられる。ニュートラル調整機構120は、フレーム130に対して回転自在に支持されコイルスプリング136の弾発力によって互いに相反する方向に付勢された第1及び第2調整アーム132、134を備え、シフトアーム102の当接可能な第1調整アーム132に装着された調整ねじ160が、スイッチセンサ138に接触可能な第2調整アーム134の接触壁164に対して常に当接するように設けられる。【選択図】図3
