An output shaft of a power unit having a driven gear for supplying a power
of an internal combustion engine via a transmission mechanism and for
outputting the power to an outside of a unit case. Borne members are
connected respectively at each end of a cylindrical member of the output
shaft. The borne members are rotatably supported by the unit case via a
pair of bearings. The driven gear is fitted to one of the borne members
in a position adjacent to one of the bearings. As a result, the output
shaft of the power unit can be manufactured by a compact manufacturing
apparatus, and the output shaft can be reduced in weight while
maintaining the strength.
