Boat and lateral movement control method for boat

Abstract

In a boat including a hull, when the hull is moved laterally based on an output from the outboard motor, the hull rolls, which may cause discomfort to a user or passengers. To compensate for this, a lateral movement control method for the boat including the hull and the outboard motor includes generating a propulsion force to laterally move the hull with the output of the outboard motor, and executing a roll reduction process to reduce a roll angle of the hull at a time of laterally moving the hull.
