VESSEL PROPULSION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A vessel propulsion device that transmits a drive force of an engine to a propulsive force generator, the vessel propulsion device comprising:
- a generator that is driven by the engine;
a power shutoff detector that detects a power shutoff state in which the drive force of the engine is not transmitted to the propulsive force generator; and
a controller configured or programmed to, when the power shutoff detector detects the power shutoff state, allow selection of one of a plurality of charging modes to charge a battery connected to the generator and to control a target speed of the engine based on a selected one of the plurality of charging modes.
