Original Abstract Submitted

a propulsion force control apparatus is configured to control a propulsion force of a vessel. the apparatus includes: a prime mover configured to drive a propulsor configured to propel the vessel; a speed sensor configured to detect an actual vessel speed of the vessel or a rotation speed of the prime mover; and an electronic control unit including a processor and a memory coupled to the processor and configured to perform feedback control of the rotation speed of the prime mover based on a difference between the actual vessel speed and a target vessel speed or between the rotation speed and a target rotation speed. the processor interrupts the feedback control when a degree of change in the actual vessel speed or the rotation speed becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined degree.
