• a portable watercraft maneuvering device to be carried by a captain and wirelessly communicable with the controller;
• and
• a captain tag to be carried by the captain and wirelessly communicable with the controller;
• wherein
• the portable watercraft maneuvering device includes a watercraft maneuvering operator operable to provide a command for a watercraft maneuvering operation involving generation of the propulsive force by the watercraft propulsion system, and generate a watercraft maneuvering command signal according to the operation of the watercraft maneuvering operator;
• the controller is configured or programmed to perform a tag state determining operation to determine whether or not the captain tag is in an active state;
• and
• the controller is configured or programmed to perform a watercraft maneuvering control operation to control the watercraft propulsion system in response to input of the watercraft maneuvering command signal from the portable watercraft maneuvering device if it is determined that the captain tag is in the active state, and to disable the watercraft maneuvering control operation based on the watercraft maneuvering command signal from the portable watercraft maneuvering device if it is determined that the captain tag is in an inactive state.
