Abstract
An outboard motor has a cowling enclosing the engine. A sidewall of the cowling has an air introduction opening for introducing ambient air to an air introduction chamber within the cowling. A protruded suction opening of an air duct in the air introduction opening has a flange extending generally toward the air introduction opening so as to deflect water from the opening.
