Abstract
A two-cylinder V-type OHV engine for outboard motors, which allows space saving in the direction of the width of the engine. A starboard side cylinder bank (RB) has a cylinder (34R) and a port side cylinder bank (LB) has a cylinder (34L). The first cylinder bank (RB) and the second cylinder bank (LB) are arranged to form a V-shape. A crankshaft (35), a single camshaft (44), and an idle gear (44) are disposed such that the crankshaft (35) drives the single camshaft (41) via the idle gear (44).
