STEERING DEVICE FOR OUTBOARD DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a steering property of an outboard device by steering while certainly synchronizing a plurality of outboard motors to get to desired steering angles, and improve a straight-traveling property or turning property by adjusting relative angles between the plurality of outboard devices. SOLUTION: The steering device for the outboard device individually steers the plurality of outboard devices (a starboard outboard motor 12R, and a port outboard motor 12L) fixed on a hull 10 by outboard motor actuators 40R, 40L. The steering device for the outboard motor comprises a tie bar 18 coupling the plurality of outboard motors, a tie bar electric motor 54 driving the tie bar, rotation angle detecting means (a rotation angle sensor 112, and an ECU 124) detecting a rotation angle θsw of a steering wheel 24 disposed in the hull, and a tie bar actuator controlling means (the ECU124) controlling the drive of the tie bar electric motor on the basis of the detected rotation angle of the steering wheel.
