An outboard motor that has an actuator and a gear change mechanism. The outboard motor also comprises an operation position sensor that detects the operation position of an operation part, a shift position detection unit that detects the actual shift position of the gear shift mechanism, an actuator detection unit that detects the state of the actuator, and a control device. The control device performs failure determination or drive control of the actuator on the basis of at least two pieces of the detected information.
