Abstract
A small planing watercraft includes: a travel electrical component driven for travel of the small planing watercraft; an accessory electrical component provided separately from the travel electrical component; a battery supplying power to the travel electrical component and the accessory electrical component; a sensor detecting a physical quantity corresponding to a level of the battery; and processing circuitry determining, based on a result of detection of the sensor, whether the level of the battery is a predetermined power saving level, and controlling, when it is determined that the level of the battery is the power saving level, operation of the accessory electrical component so that power consumed by the accessory electrical component is less than that before determination.
