ABSTRACT:
A control unit for controlling multiple propulsion units can include plural propulsion units mounted at the stern of the boat to generate thrust. A control unit can be used to control the driving of each propulsion unit, and a target speed setting device can be used to establish a target speed of the boat, in which the control unit controls the driving of each propulsion unit according to the preset driving pattern to attain the target speed.
