A water deflector or splash guard for diverting water away from the powerhead and bracket assemblies of an outboard motor during operation of a boat. The splash guard is mounted on the bottom of a transom bracket assembly, and includes a flat planar body having a pair of rearwardly extending spaced fins that define a central opening for receiving the lower unit of the outboard motor. The splash guard also includes a pair of downwardly angled tab members extending rearwardly from the body and disposed between the fin members to aid in deflecting water and provide a central recess for accommodating the drive shaft housing and swivel bracket of the outboard motor as well as a notch for accommodating the grounding wire of the motor.
