ABSTRACT:
A marine propulsion system includes a transmission mechanism arranged to transmit a driving force generated by an engine to propellers with a speed thereof changed to a low speed reduction ratio and a high speed reduction ratio; a control lever section operated by a user in controlling drive of the engine; and a control portion and an ECU controlling a shift between reduction ratios of the transmission mechanism based on operation of the control lever section by the user. The control portion and the ECU control a shift between reduction ratios of the transmission mechanism based on a transmission control map providing a reference for a shift between reduction ratios of the transmission mechanism taking into consideration an engine speed of the engine and a lever opening of the control lever section. This arrangement provides a marine propulsion system in which both acceleration performance and maximum speed can approach levels that a user desires.
