An outboard motor has an adapter plate with an upper surface supporting an engine, a lower surface spaced therefrom, and fore and aft sides connecting the upper and lower surfaces. A first pocket is defined in the adapter plate's fore side and a second pocket is defined in its aft side. A midsection housing is coupled to the adapter plate's lower surface and suspends a propulsion unit therebelow. A driveshaft coupling the engine's output shaft to the propulsion unit's propeller shaft extends through the adapter plate. A steering arm, which extends into the first pocket, has a hole through which the driveshaft extends. A mount in the second pocket is located aft of the driveshaft, and the mount's fore side is coupled to the steering arm's aft end by way of connectors. A cover plate attached to the adapter plate's aft side secures the mount within the second pocket.
