Abstract
Provided is an oil feeding structure of a personal watercraft capable of enhancing the appearance design of the personal watercraft and of readily letting air out of a tank during oil feeding, thereby smoothly feeding oil. A surface 15 inclined outward and downward is formed on both sides of the highest portion on a deck 2, that is, a portion between a housing portion B for a storage box 11 and a housing portion S for a steering mechanism. Oil feeding ports 9 and 10 are formed on the inclined surfaces, respectively. First and second oil feeding pipe members 17 and 18 are arranged downward in a substantially vertical direction from the oil feeding ports 9 and 10, and are connected to a fuel tank 7 and a lubricating oil tank 8 substantially rectilinearly, respectively.
