Abstract
Provided are an LP sensor that detects any one shift state from among forward, reverse and neutral, on the basis of an operation state of respective throttle levers corresponding to a plurality of engines, and a controller that controls the plurality of engines. The controller detects a simulated boat speed on the basis of the respective rotational speeds of the plurality of engines. When from a state in which the boat is operated by some engines from among the plurality of engines an attempt is made to operate the remaining engines being in a neutral shift state, the controller sets a shift-in prohibition flag of a corresponding engine, and prohibits shift-in control of the remaining engine, in a case where the simulated boat speed is higher than a first determination value.
