ABSTRACT:
A control method can be provided for a watercraft that has three or more outboard motors mounted thereon side by side with each other. Two control levers which are primarily provided for shift and throttle controls of respective two of the outboard motors located on the outer-most sides make shift and throttle controls of all the outboard motors. A control range of the respective control levers includes a forward range, a reverse range and a neutral range between the forward and reverse ranges. The method can include, when both of the control levers are placed at a preset position in the respective neutral ranges, setting a shift position of an outboard motor located between the outer-most sides at a forward position or a reverse position, and setting a throttle opening of the outboard motor at a preset opening.
