To simplify the configuration, an outboard motor includes a drive source, a drive shaft, a steering shaft, a case, and an angle detection sensor. The drive shaft extends in an upper-lower direction and rotates by the driving force of the drive source. The hollow tubular steering shaft is arranged to surround the outer circumference of the drive shaft. The case is arranged at a position lower than the drive source, and an oil chamber is formed in which oil is stored, and at least part of the steering shaft is housed in the oil chamber. The angle detection sensor is arranged at a position higher than the oil chamber and detects the rotation angle of the steering shaft.
