Abstract
A control unit for a boat propulsion system individually controls the forward and reverse propulsion directions, the propulsion force, and the steering angle of each of a plurality of boat propulsion units so that a point of action of a first resultant force is positioned behind a point of action of a second resultant force when the control unit receives an operational command from an operation device for travel in a lateral direction of a hull. The first resultant force is a resultant force of propulsion forces generated by the first port-side propulsion unit and the first starboard-side propulsion unit. The second resultant force is a resultant force of propulsion forces generated by the second port-side propulsion unit and the second starboard-side propulsion unit.
