Combination manually driven and motor driven watercraft

A watercraft, comprising:

• a hull;
• a propelling member configured to propel the hull through water;
• a manual force input member that is movable manually;
• an output shaft that is operatively connected to the propelling member and that is drivable by the manual force input member;
• a motor that is operatively connectable to the output shaft;
• a controller;
• and
• a torque sensor configured to send first signals to the controller related to the amount of torque being transmitted from the manual force input member, wherein the controller is configured to control the motor based on the first signals sent to the controller by the torque sensor.
