Abstract
A controller for a marine propulsion device determines a route on which a single or a plurality of target spots are located. The controller controls the marine propulsion device such that a watercraft moves along the route. The controller obtains a position of the watercraft, and determines whether or not the watercraft has arrived at a destination. When it is determined that the watercraft has arrived at the destination, the controller controls the marine propulsion device in a fixed spot keeping mode to keep the watercraft located at the destination.
