Abstract
A system for a watercraft includes an engine sensor, a status sensor, and a watercraft operating controller. The engine sensor is operable to detect a rotational speed of the engine. The status sensor is operable to detect status data indicating a status of the watercraft. The watercraft operating controller is configured or programmed to determine that an actual operation of the marine propulsion device has been started after shipment of the marine propulsion device, obtain the status data when the rotational speed of the engine reaches a first rotational speed range for the first time after a start of the actual operation of the marine propulsion device, and record the status data when the rotational speed of the engine reaches the first rotational speed range for the first time after the start of the actual operation of the marine propulsion device as initial status data.
