a rotatable operator to maneuver a marine vessel; and
a controller configured or programmed to shift to a pivot turning mode in which the marine vessel is turned on the spot; wherein
in a rotation operation direction of the operator, a high friction region where a resistance of a rotation operation increases is set within a rotatable range of the operator; and
when the operator is rotated to the high-friction region, the controller is configured or programmed to shift the marine vessel to the pivot turning mode.
