A marine outboard motor is provided with an internal combustion engine comprising an engine block defining at least one cylinder, an air intake configured to deliver a flow of air to the at least one cylinder, a crankcase in which a crankshaft is mounted for rotation about a crankshaft axis which is substantially vertical when the marine outboard is vertical, and a crankcase ventilation system configured to vent blow-by gases from the crankcase and to supply vented blow-by gases to the air intake. The crankcase ventilation system comprises a lubricant separation chamber for separating lubricant from the blow-by gases. The lubricant separation chamber is defined by the crankcase and extends along the length of the crankcase substantially parallel to the crankshaft axis.
