Apparatus controls trim angle of outboard motor (or sterndrive) attached to watercraft. Outboard motor includes prime mover and propulsor driven by prime mover. Apparatus includes: actuator changing trim angle; sensor detecting moving speed of watercraft (or rotational speed of prime mover); switch operated by operator to enable or disable automatic trim for automatically adjusting trim angle to target angle predetermined in accordance with moving speed detected by sensor; electronic control unit including processor and memory coupled to processor and controlling actuator so that trim angle becomes target angle when automatic trim is enabled; and operation member operated by operator to input change command for changing target angle when automatic trim is enabled. Processor disables automatic trim when target angle changed by change command reaches maximum value of target angle predetermined in accordance with moving speed or rotational speed.
