Abstract: In a first correction process, a correction value T(0) is set as a median value between minimum and maximum correction values Tmin(0) and Tmax(0). A provisional adjustment value B=T(0)+Bini is input to the circuit section. A signal value output from the circuit section in accordance with the provisional adjustment value B is obtained by an A/D converter, and the magnitude relationship between the signal value and a target value is determined. When the signal value is smaller than the target value, a value that is smaller than the correction value T(0) by an error tolerance is set as a new minimum correction value Tmin(1). The median value between the minimum correction value Tmin(1) and the maximum correction value Tmax(1)=Tmax(0) is set as a next correction value T(1). In the next correction process, the provisional adjustment value B=T(1)+Bini is input to the circuit section.

Abstract: A propulsion device for a marine vessel includes an engine and a forward/reverse shifting mechanism. The direction of a propulsive force generated by the propulsion device is changed according to a shift position of the forward/reverse shifting mechanism. The shift position is changeable between a forward position and a reverse position via a neutral position. In response to a command signal based on an operation of a joystick or an operator, the shift position of the forward/reverse shifting mechanism and the engine are controlled. When the shift position of the forward/reverse shifting mechanism is changed from the neutral position to a position corresponding to a direction opposite to a travelling direction of the marine vessel, which is determined based on the speed of the marine vessel, a correction control is performed to increase an output of the engine based on the speed of the marine vessel.
