ABSTRACT:
An outboard motor steering control system is configured to have both an electric steering mechanism (having an electric motor, steering angle sensor and electronic controller such as microcomputer) and a hydraulic steering mechanism (having a hydraulic cylinder and a hydraulic pump) that can be switched therebetween in response to manipulation by the operator. With this, switching from one of the electric steering mechanism and hydraulic steering mechanism to the other can be easily conducted, thereby enabling to easily cope with the operator's preference of steering feel. Further, even if a failure occurs in one of the electric steering mechanism and hydraulic steering mechanism, the steering operation of the outboard motor can be continued by switching from the one steering mechanism to the other, i.e., normally-operating steering mechanism.
