A boat propelling system capable of determining operation accuracy of a transmission mechanism includes an outboard engine main body, a swivel bracket arranged to allow the outboard engine main body to pivot in a right-left direction with respect to a hull, an electric motor provided in the swivel bracket to pivot the outboard engine main body in the right-left direction, a pivot sensor provided in the electric motor to detect a pivot angle of a motor shaft, a transmission mechanism provided in the swivel bracket to transmit a driving force of the electric motor to the outboard engine main body, a pivot sensor arranged to detect an actual pivot angle of the outboard engine main body, and an ECU arranged and programmed to control an operation of the boat propelling system. The ECU determines operation accuracy of the transmission mechanism by comparing an actual pivot angle change amount of the outboard engine main body based on a result of detection by the pivot sensor and a calculated theoretical change amount based on a drive amount of the electric motor.
