ABSTRACT:
A method of steering a watercraft propulsion device mounted to a transom plate and having a steering drive unit which allows the watercraft propulsion device to rotationally move about a swivel shaft. The method can include calculating a steering parameter for the steering drive unit in accordance with the degree of operator's steering wheel displacement, and operating the steering drive unit based on the calculated control physical quantity, in which the control physical quantity can be selected from a plurality of preset control physical quantities.
