OUTBOARD MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

Outboard motors are mounted to a stern of the watercraft. The outboard motors can be steered independently. A target steering angle setting section is configured to set a target steering angle for each of the outboard motors. Actuators are configured to steer the outboard motors such that the steering angle each of the outboard motors equals a target steering angle. An actual steering angle detecting section is configured to detect an actual steering angle of each of the outboard motors. A control section is configured to control the steering operation of the outboard motors such that, when a steering angle difference constituting a difference between the actual steering angles of adjacently arranged outboard motors becomes equal to or larger than a prescribed value, enlargement of the steering angle difference is suppressed.
