Abstract

An outboard engine includes a buoyant member (20). The buoyant member has concavities (20L, 20R; 120L, 120R) formed in at least one side thereof. A plurality of outboard engines is mounted in parallel on the stem, and the concavities prevent interference with the other adjacent outboard engines when any of the outboard engines are tilted up.
