Claim 3:
4. The automatic setting device according to claim 3,
wherein the ship comprises a right ship propulsion device disposed on a right part of a rear portion of a hull and a left ship propulsion device disposed on a left part of the rear portion of the hull,
wherein, if the input operation setting unit sets an input operation for turning the ship clockwise on the spot as the input operation for the ship,
the setting value storage unit stores a backward direction of the ship as a direction of a propulsion force generated by the right ship propulsion device when the ship is turning clockwise on the spot and stores a forward direction of the ship as a direction of a propulsion force generated by the left ship propulsion device when the ship is turning clockwise on the spot, and
the input operation setting unit subsequently sets an input operation for causing the ship to perform a translational movement in a right direction, a right-forward direction, or a right-backward direction as the input operation for the ship,
wherein the initial propulsion force setting unit
sets a backward direction of the ship as the direction of the propulsion force initially generated by the right ship propulsion device after an input operation for causing the ship to perform a translational movement in the right direction, the right-forward direction, or the right-backward direction is set and
sets a forward direction of the ship as the direction of the propulsion force initially generated by the left ship propulsion device after the input operation for causing the ship to perform the translational movement in the right direction, the right-forward direction, or the right-backward direction is set, and
wherein the propulsion force change unit changes the direction of the propulsion force generated by the right ship propulsion device from the backward direction to the right-backward direction of the ship and changes the direction of the propulsion force generated by the left ship propulsion device from the forward direction to the right-forward direction of the ship.
