An outboard engine ballistic protection system is provided that can be adapted for use with existing small water craft outboard motors. A mounting band circumscribes and is affixed to the power head cowling. The mounting band may be formed of a pair of symmetrically affixed band straps that may be impinged about the cowling and secured fore and aft via a fastening mechanism. Laterally extended struts are provided offset from the port, starboard and aft sections of the power head. A panel support is perpendicularly affixed at an outer terminus of each strut. Mounted to the panel supports about an outer perimeter are a port protection panel, a starboard protection panel, and an aft protection panel. Each protection panel forms ballistic barrier system providing low weight, high energy absorbing structures and materials for ballistic protection against projectiles from munitions and/or shrapnel.
