<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control apparatus for an outboard motor provided with a transmission and configured to suppress deterioration in speed by appropriately controlling the operation of the transmission even when the resistance of water acting on a full during navigation is increased by the effect of wave or the like. <P>SOLUTION: In the control apparatus for the outboard motor provided with the transmission, a change quantity DTH of throttle opening of an internal combustion engine (S14) and intake pipe internal pressure Pb of an intake pipe are detected (S50). When a second speed is selected, the detected change quantity DTH of throttle opening TH is less than a predetermined value, and the detected intake pipe internal pressure Pb is reduced by a first predetermined pressure or more, an increase in load is determined in load fluctuation determination (S52), and the operation of the transmission is controlled so that the gear position is changed from the second speed to a first speed (S54). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
