Abstract
A watercraft propulsion system includes a bow thruster to generate a propulsive force laterally of the hull, a propulsion device to generate a propulsive force anteroposteriorly of the hull, a steering to change the course of the hull, and a controller configured or programmed to control the bow thruster, the propulsion device, and the steering in response to a diagonal movement command to control an output of the bow thruster, the propulsive force generated by the propulsion device, and the steering angle of the steering. The controller includes a calibration mode in which a calibration value to be used to control the bow thruster, the propulsion device, and the steering according to the diagonal movement command is set. The controller is configured or programmed to increase the output of the bow thruster if a bow turning promotion command is issued together with the diagonal movement command in the calibration mode.
