ABSTRACT:
To provide a running control device for a watercraft capable of effecting an easy cruising control of the watercraft even by a beginner, especially allowing a stable running while turning, and capable of reducing cavitation. A running control device16for a watercraft with a propulsion device15capable of controlling propulsion, comprises a propulsion control section17which controls propulsion, based on predetermined input information, said propulsion control section17comprising a target propulsion calculation module18for determining a target propulsion, based on predetermined input information including at least velocity of said watercraft; and an operation amount calculation module19for determining the amount of operation of said propulsion device15, based on predetermined input information so as to obtain the target propulsion determined by said propulsion calculation module18.
