Abstract
A control apparatus for controlling an engine mounted on a watercraft and driving it so as to finely and stably control a low speed of the watercraft. The control apparatus is adapted to compute a target engine speed on the basis of a correction value for the engine speed which is determined by a correction signal generated by a correction signal generator which is manually operable. The control apparatus controls the opening degree of the secondary air valve in accordance with a desired opening computed on the basis of the computed target engine speed.
