Original Abstract Submitted

A remote controller () for watercraft () includes a rod () extending downward from the free end part of a lever along a lengthwise direction thereof, a lock release button () slidably provided in the free end part so as to be slidable in a first direction different from the lengthwise direction of the lever, and a conversion mechanism provided between the lock release button and the first end of the rod to covert a movement of the lock release button in the first direction to a movement of the rod in a second direction extending along the lengthwise direction of the lever.
