Title:
OUTBOARD MOTOR CONTROL DEVICE, OUTBOARD MOTOR CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/148737
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In the present invention, a plurality of outboard motors are each equipped with a propulsion unit and a steering actuator. The boat is equipped with an operation unit for operating the steering actuators and the propulsion units. When the operation unit is moved from a first position at which the outboard motors do not generate propulsion power for the boat to a second position at which the outboard motors generate propulsion power for moving the boat and is maintained in the second position, an outboard motor control device either causes the outboard motors to generate propulsion power for limiting the difference between a target movement course and the actual movement course of the boat on the basis of the boat position detected by a boat position detection unit, or causes the outboard motors to generate propulsion power for limiting the difference between the heading of the bow when movement of the boat was initiated and the heading of the bow while the boat is moving on the basis of the heading of the bow detected by a bow heading detection unit.
