Abstract

Embodiments of outboard motors having separate electrical generators driven by the engine output shaft from the magneto generator. The protective cowling and engine induction system is configured so that air flowing to the induction system will not flow across the electrical power generator and thus the generator is protected from corrosion as might be caused by the water contained in the air inducted to the engine.
