Abstract
A ship includes an out-drive unit that exerts a propulsion force on a ship hull by power from an engine; a detection device for detecting a current position, a bow direction, and a moving speed of the ship hull; a brake pedal that limits a moving speed of the ship hull; a brake sensor that detects a foot-pushing amount on the brake pedal; and a ship steering control device connected to the out-drive unit, the detection means, and the brake sensor. The ship steering control device acquires an operating status of the out-drive unit and detection results obtained by the detection device and the brake sensor, and controls the out-drive unit based on the detection results. The ship steering control device changes the output of the out-drive unit in accordance with a foot-pushing amount on the brake pedal.
