A ship propulsion device controller controls a plurality of ship propulsion devices disposed on a rear portion of a hull of a ship. The ship includes an operation unit configured to operate the ship propulsion devices. The operation unit is able to be positioned at a first position where the ship propulsion devices do not generate propulsion forces for the ship and a second position where the ship propulsion devices generate propulsion forces for moving the ship in a right direction, a right-forward direction, or a right-backward direction or a third position where the ship propulsion devices generate a propulsion force for moving the ship in a left direction, a left-forward direction, or a left-backward direction. When the operation unit is moved from the first position to the second position and maintained at the second position, the ship propulsion devices generate a clockwise rotating moment in the ship during a first period from a first timing when the operation unit is moved to the second position to a second timing and do not to generate the clockwise rotating moment in the ship during a second period after the second timing.

A control device for an outboard motor controls a plurality of outboard motors included in a ship. Each outboard motor includes a propulsion unit and a steering actuator. The ship includes an operation unit that operates the steering actuator and the propulsion unit. The operation unit can be positioned at a first position at which the outboard motors do not generate a propulsion force for the ship, a second position at which the outboard motors generate a propulsion force for moving the ship in a leftward-rightward direction, and a third position at which the outboard motors generate a propulsion force for moving the ship in an oblique direction that forms an acute angle with the leftward-rightward direction. A forward-backward direction component of a propulsion force in the oblique direction which is generated by the outboard motors.

Control device for outboard motor, control method for outboard motor, and program

A power seat operation device is configured in such a manner that, when a dial member is rotated and operated, a movable mechanism which is to be operated is selected from among movable mechanisms. When a switch member is rotated and operated, the selected movable mechanism is actuated. The switch member is rotated and operated about a rotation axis extending in the widthwise direction of the seat. Thus the direction of operation of the switch member can be aligned with or nearly aligned with both the direction of the actual movement of a seat back when a recliner mechanism is actuated and the direction of the actual movement of an ottoman when an ottoman mechanism is actuated. Also, in a state in which a seat slide mechanism is selected, the direction of the operation of the switch member is aligned with the front-rear direction of the seat.
