Abstract: A watercraft comprises a hull, a deck disposed on the hull, a motor connected to at least one of the hull and the deck, a propulsion system operatively connected to the motor, a command console disposed on the deck and operatively connected to the motor, an accelerator control lever operatively connected to the command console, and a control unit operatively connected to the command console and to the motor. The control unit receives, from the command console, a value representing a current position of the accelerator control lever, controls an operating parameter of the motor based at least in part on the current position of the accelerator control lever, receives, from the command console, a cruise control enabling signal, and in response to receiving the cruise control enabling signal, selectively engages a cruise control function of the watercraft by maintaining the operating parameter of the motor.
