Abstract
A ship handling device including a joystick lever configured to be inclined in a desired direction at a desired angle, and a ship handling control device configured to control driving of a forward-backward propeller generating a thrust in a front-and-rear direction of a ship body and a thruster generating a thrust in a left-and-right direction of the ship body. The ship handling control device has a normal mode in which driving of the forward-backward propeller and the thruster is controlled according to an input signal from the joystick lever, and a thruster single-driven mode in which driving of only the thruster is controlled according to an input signal from the joystick lever, and the ship handling control device is connected to a mode changing switch with which a switchover between the normal mode and the thruster single-driven mode is performed.
