Abstract

Provided is a display device for a watercraft with which a disparity between an operation instruction and an actual speed of the watercraft can be grasped easily. The display device for a watercraft is provided with a first indicator 131 that shows a specified speed based on an operation by a user and a second indicator 132 that shows an actual speed of the watercraft. The first indicator 131 and the second indicator 132 each include a forward indicator 131 F, 132 F and a reverse indicator 131 R, 132 R, and the first indicator 131 and the second indicator 132 are displayed in juxtaposition.

Claims (26)

1. A display device for a watercraft, the display device comprising:

a first indicator that shows a specified speed based on an operation by a user; and

a second indicator that shows an actual speed of the watercraft, wherein

the first indicator and the second indicator each include a forward indicator and a reverse indicator, and

the first indicator and the second indicator are displayed in juxtaposition.

2. The display device for a watercraft according to claim 1 , wherein

the first indicator and the second indicator are each in a circular or partially circular display form and are displayed substantially concentrically.

3. The display device for a watercraft according to claim 1 , wherein

the first indicator and the second indicator are each in a linear display form and are displayed in juxtaposition.

4. The display device for a watercraft according to claim 1 , wherein

the first indicator shows only a specified speed that takes account of a load factor.

5. The display device for a watercraft according to claim 1 , wherein

the first indicator shows both of:

a specified speed in an ideal state not taking account of a load factor and

a specified speed taking account of the load factor.

6. The display device for a watercraft according to claim 1 , wherein

the first indicator shows only a specified speed in an ideal state not taking account of a load factor.

7. The display device for a watercraft according to claim 1 , wherein

the first indicator shows a specified speed in an ideal state not taking account of a load factor, together with a display of a range of variation that varies depending on the load factor.

8. The display device for a watercraft according to claim 7 , wherein

the display of the range of variation changes depending on a speed of the watercraft.

9. The display device for a watercraft according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a third indicator that shows a rotation speed of a prime mover or a screw propeller based on a throttle operation, wherein

the first indicator and the third indicator are displayed in juxtaposition.

10. The display device for a watercraft according to claim 1 , wherein

at least one selected from the first indicator and the second indicator is capable of displaying, on an enlarged scale, a vicinity of a boundary between the forward indicator and the reverse indicator.
