A shift mechanism configuring an outboard motor comprises: an electric actuator that linearly moves a movable rod; and a shift shaft portion that switches from neutral to forward or reverse based on displacement of said movable rod. Moreover, a neutral adjusting mechanism enabling a neutral position of the shift mechanism to be adjusted is provided facing the shift shaft portion, by a separate body. The neutral adjusting mechanism, which comprises first and second adjusting arms that are supported in a freely rotating manner with respect to a frame and that have been biased in contrary directions to each other by elastic springing force of a coil spring, is provided in a manner that an adjusting screw mounted in the first adjusting arm capable of abutting on a shift arm always abuts on a contacting wall of the second adjusting arm capable of contacting a switch sensor.
