Summary:To provide a shift device of an outboard motor which engages a clutch gear with a forward gear and a reverse gear with an appropriate engagement width.SOLUTION: A shift device 10 of an outboard motor 1 comprises: a forward gear 30 and a reverse gear 31 arranged to face each other; a clutch gear 32 arranged between the forward gear 30 and the reverse gear 31; a shift actuator that can move between a neutral reference position for disengaging the clutch gear 32 from the forward gear 30 and the reverse gear 31 and an engagement reference position for engaging the clutch gear 32 with the forward gear 30 or the reverse gear 31; and a control device 28 for controlling the movement of the shift actuator. The control device 28 sets an intermediate target position between the neutral reference position and the engagement reference position. The speed at which the shift actuator moves from the intermediate target position to the engagement reference position is set slower than the speed at which the shift actuator moves from the neutral reference position to the intermediate target position.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】クラッチギアと前進ギア及び後進ギアとを適切な噛み合い幅で噛み合わせる船外機のシフト装置を提供する。【解決手段】船外機1のシフト装置10であって、互いに対向して配置される前進ギア30及び後進ギア31と、前進ギア30と後進ギア31との間に配置されるクラッチギア32と、クラッチギア32と前進ギア30及び後進ギア31との噛み合いを解除する中立基準位置と、クラッチギア32と前進ギア30又は後進ギア31とを噛み合わせる噛合基準位置との間で移動可能なシフトアクチュエータと、シフトアクチュエータの移動を制御する制御装置28とを備え、制御装置28は、中立基準位置と噛合基準位置との間に中間目標位置を設定し、且つ、シフトアクチュエータが中間目標位置から噛合基準位置まで移動する速度をシフトアクチュエータが中立基準位置から中間目標位置まで移動する速度よりも遅くする。【選択図】図1
