Patent attributes
There is provided a boat maneuvering support device for a boat including an outboard motor, a power device which outputs a thrust force in a port-starboard direction, and a steering mechanism which changes a steering angle. The device includes a rotational speed detection unit which detects a rotational speed of a propeller of the outboard motor, and a control unit which controls a magnitude of the thrust force output by the power device. The control unit controls the magnitude of the thrust force output by the power device so as to change a balance between a magnitude of a first turning force which makes the boat turn by a thrust force of the outboard motor and a magnitude of a second turning force which makes the boat turn by the thrust force of the power device.
