Abstract
A marine propulsion device includes a power source, a steering handle, and an accelerator grip that moves with respect to the steering handle. A movement region of the accelerator grip includes a forward movement rotation region, a reverse movement rotation region and an axis movement region. In the forward movement rotation region, the accelerator grip is operated to rotate so as to obtain a drive force in a forward movement direction. In the reverse movement rotation region the accelerator grip is operated to rotate so as to obtain a drive force in a reverse movement direction. The axis movement region is provided between the forward movement rotation region and the reverse movement rotation region. In the axis movement region, the accelerator grip is moved in the extensional direction of a rotation axis.
