A steering system can be provided for a boat. Such a boat can include a rudder device using an electric actuator to allow a rudder to rotate about a rotational shaft, and a steering wheel 7 for operation by an operator. The steering system can include a steering wheel displacement sensor for detecting the displacement of the steering wheel and a controller for calculating the rotational displacement of the rudder device corresponding to the detected steering wheel displacement and sending an actuation signal to the electric actuator based on the calculated rotational displacement, in which the controller receives a signal indicating an engine speed for producing a propulsive force in the boat, and changes, in accordance with the engine speed, the ratio of the rotational displacement of the rudder relative to the steering wheel displacement.
