Abstract:
A controller for a watercraft changes a rudder angle of a marine propulsion device by controlling a steering actuator based on a target yaw rate. The controller determines which of rightward turning and leftward turning is being made by the watercraft. The controller imposes a limitation on the leftward target yaw rate when the rightward turning is being made by the watercraft. The controller imposes a limitation on the rightward target yaw rate when the leftward turning is being made by the watercraft.
