Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An outboard motor attached to a hull includes a body, a body driving device, and a control device. The body includes an engine and a propeller shaft. The propeller shaft is configured to be rotated by a drive force from the engine. The body is configured to pivot about a tilt axis extending in a lateral direction of the hull. The body driving device is configured to drive the body about the tilt axis. The control device is programmed to control the body driving device so that a rear end of the propeller shaft is positioned higher than a front end of the propeller shaft when the control device determines that the propeller shaft is to rotate in a direction in which the hull is propelled in reverse.
