Claim 0:
1. An outboard motor including a shift actuator that shifts a rotational output of an internal combustion engine based on a position of a shift lever operated by a user, the outboard motor comprising:
an operating position detection unit that detects an operating position of the shift lever;
a state quantity detection unit that detects at least one of a current, a voltage, and a temperature of the shift actuator, as a state quantity of the shift actuator; and
a control unit that performs processing based on the detected operating position and state quantity,
wherein, when the operating position has been switched, the control unit determines whether the state quantity is greater than or equal to a stop-initiating threshold value or not, and, if the state quantity is greater than or equal to the stop-initiating threshold value, the control unit performs control to suppress at least one of ignition and fuel injection in the internal combustion engine.
