    Abstract: A controller for a marine propulsion device determines a route on which a single or a plurality of target spots are located. The controller controls the marine propulsion device such that a watercraft moves along the route. The controller obtains a position of the watercraft, and determines whether or not the watercraft has arrived at a destination. When it is determined that the watercraft has arrived at the destination, the controller controls the marine propulsion device in a fixed spot keeping mode to keep the watercraft located at the destination.

    Abstract: A wearable water shoe apparatus for walking, standing and jet siding on water, includes in each of a first water shoe and a second water shoe (i) a sleeve to receive a leg of a user and (ii) a bottom section, The sleeve has a platform for standing thereon. Each pair of a plurality of pairs of jet motors is configured to eject a jet stream of water. A stabilization unit, including a tilt sensor and a plurality of gyroscopes, is configured to detect a stabilization state of at least one of the first water shoe and second water shoe. A processing unit is configured to receive output from the stabilization unit, determine a direction of movement indicated by the user and direct at least one of the pairs of motors to eject a water stream out of at least one of the water shoes based on the indicated direction.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for enhancing steering control of a personal watercraft. An electrically actuated device is coupled to the steering system of the personal watercraft and applies torque to the steering system. At least one sensor is positioned adjacent the steering system and generates operational data of the personal watercraft. At least one controller is coupled to the electrically actuated device and the at least one sensor, and is configured to determine a first torque to apply to the steering system based on the operational data responsive to a second torque being applied to the steering system. The at least one controller is further configured to operate the electrically actuated device to apply the first torque to the steering system for providing enhanced steering control of the personal watercraft, with the first torque being applied only by the electrically actuated device.
