A boat maneuvering system comprising:
- a power source;
- a first controller that controls the power source;
- a display device that has a touch panel function and displays an operation screen configured to operate movement of a boat;
- and
- a second controller that is communicatively connected to the first controller and enables an operation of the boat through the operation screen when simultaneously detecting a plurality of operations on the display device.
A boat maneuvering device for a boat, comprising:
- a display device that has a touch panel displaying an operation screen on the touch panel to operate movement of the boat;
- and
- a second controller that is communicatively connected to a first controller, which controls a power source, to enable an operation of the boat through the operation screen when simultaneously detecting each of a plurality of operations on the operation screen.
A power source for maneuvering a boat, comprising:
- a transmitting and receiving portion that communicates with a display device having a touch panel that displays an operation screen configured to operate movement of the boat;
- a motor generating thrust;
- a steering motor that adjusts a direction of the thrust;
