SYSTEM FOR AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING BEHAVIOR OF WATERCRAFT
A system includes an outboard motor, an actuator, a pitch angle sensor, a trim angle sensor, and a controller to obtain at least either of a pitch angle of a watercraft and an angular velocity of the pitch angle, and to obtain a trim angle of the outboard motor. The controller is configured or programmed to selectively set either a trim-up direction or a trim-down direction as a trim direction based on the trim angle of the outboard motor and at least either of the pitch angle of the watercraft and the angular velocity of the pitch angle. The controller is configured or programmed to control the actuator to cause the outboard motor to perform a trim motion in the trim direction.

SYSTEM FOR AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING BEHAVIOR OF WATERCRAFT
A controller is configured or programmed to obtain at least either of a pitch angle of a watercraft and an angular velocity of the pitch angle, obtain a present thrust of an outboard motor, and set a target thrust of the outboard motor based on the present thrust of the outboard motor and at least either of the pitch angle of the watercraft and the angular velocity of the pitch angle. The controller is configured or programmed to control a drive source such that a thrust of the outboard motor becomes the target thrust.

SYSTEM FOR AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING BEHAVIOR OF WATERCRAFT
A system includes an outboard motor, a lift actuator, a sensor, and a controller. The sensor detects motion information indicating an up-and-down directional motion of a bow of a watercraft. The controller is configured or programmed to selectively set either a lift-up direction or a lift-down direction as a lift direction in accordance with the up-and-down directional motion of the bow based on the motion information. The controller is configured or programmed to control the lift actuator to cause the outboard motor to perform the lift motion in the lift direction, and set a duration of the lift motion to be different between when the outboard motor is caused to perform the lift motion in the lift-up direction and when the outboard motor is caused to perform the lift motion in the lift-down direction.
