An electric outboard motor 1 includes an operating part 33 that is switchable between forward and reverse rotation positions; a control device 35 configured to switch, based on the position of the operating part, a drive state of an electric motor 8 between forward, reverse, and neutral states. When the position of the operating part is switched from the forward rotation position to the reverse rotation position (ST1 Yes) while a watercraft is moving (ST2: Yes), the control device causes the drive state to transition from the forward rotation state to the reverse rotation state (ST3) such that, before completion of the transition, the drive state is held to be the neutral state for a predetermined time period (ST4).
