Patent ID: 8118628

Claim:
A mount structure of an outboard motor, the mount structure comprising: a first member arranged such that a propulsive force generated by a propeller of the outboard motor is applied to the first member; a second member arranged such that the propulsive force is transmitted to the second member via the first member; a buffer member including a tubular outer sleeve fixed to the first member, a tubular inner sleeve disposed in the outer sleeve, and a first elastic member fixed to an inner peripheral surface of the outer sleeve and an outer peripheral surface of the inner sleeve, the inner sleeve and the second member being arranged in a direction of action of the propulsive force; a sandwiching member including a first end portion positioned on the inner sleeve side and at least a pair of sandwiching portions arranged to sandwich the second member and the inner sleeve in the direction of action of the propulsive force; and a second elastic member having an elastic modulus higher than an elastic modulus of the first elastic member, the second elastic member fixed to the first member, the second elastic member opposed to the first end portion of the sandwiching member across a gap in the direction of action of the propulsive force.
