EXHAUST GAS PURIFICATION STRUCTURE AND OUTBOARD MOTOR

Abstract:

An exhaust gas purification structure of an outboard motor includes an exhaust gas pipe that has an exhaust gas passage through which exhaust gas of an engine can flow; and a catalyst that is provided in the exhaust gas passage and purifies the exhaust gas by allowing the exhaust gas to pass through the inside thereof. The exhaust gas pipe includes a coolant flow passage allowing a coolant that cools the exhaust gas to flow therethrough. An exhaust gas bypass passage allowing the exhaust gas to flow without passing through the catalyst is formed between the catalyst and an inner surface of the exhaust gas pipe forming the exhaust gas passage.
