A marine vessel propulsion control apparatus is arranged to control a propulsion unit and a steering unit. The marine vessel propulsion control apparatus includes a joystick unit, and a control unit programmed to control an output of the propulsion unit and a steering angle of the steering unit in accordance with an output signal of the joystick unit. The joystick unit includes a lever that is tiltable from a neutral position and arranged to be operated by a marine vessel operator to command a heading direction and stem turning of a hull. The control unit is programmed to maintain the steering angle of the steering unit when the output of the propulsion unit is stopped.

A motorized balance board includes a wheel rotation angle detecting sensor, a gyrosensor, and an acceleration sensor. An arithmetic operation unit calculates a rotation angle change value, a rotation angle value, a tilt angle change value, and a tilt angle value, based on signals output from the wheel rotation angle detecting sensor, the gyrosensor, and the acceleration sensor. When the control mode is a riding mode, a control mode switch element switches the control mode to a standby mode based on the rotation angle change value, the rotation angle value, the tilt angle change value, and the tilt angle value.

A motorized balance board includes a gyrosensor. An arithmetic operation unit calculates a tilt angle change value based on a signal output from the gyrosensor. When the control mode is a standby mode, a control mode switch element switches the control mode to a riding mode when the absolute value of the tilt angle change value exceeds a riding angular velocity threshold. When the control mode is the riding mode, the control mode switch element switches the control mode to the standby mode when the absolute value of the tilt angle change value exceeds a descending angular velocity threshold.
