[0031] The control handle 2 is connected to the controller main body 1 by adjusting mechanism 3, and the oil consumption of the outboard motor is controlled by the rotation of the control handle 2, and the visual area 41 is used to identify and display the current oil consumption state.

[0032] The circuit board 5 is arranged in the controller main body 1, the controller main body 1 top is equipped with the connecting column 52 connected with the corner of circuit board 5, the connecting column 52 is equipped with the bolt passing through the circuit board 5 and being screwed with the controller main body 1, so that the circuit board 5 is arranged in the air under the action of bolt, so that the light source is arranged in the air, so that the light source is as close as possible to the visual area 41, so that the light of the light source is scattered from the visual area 41, so that the oil consumption force is identified through the visual area 41.

[0033] The light source and the visual area 41 are provided with a light guide plate 6 mounted on the circuit board 5, the light guide plate 6 is formed with a light guide column 61 corresponding to each lamp bead 51, and the light source and the visual area 41 are provided with a light diffuser 7 mounted on the light diffuser 7.

[0034] The number of light guide columns 61 is consistent with the number of lamp beads 51, and the position of light guide column 61 corresponds to the position of lamp bead 51 one by one, the light generated by lamp bead 51 is guided under the action of light guide column 61, and the light generated by lamp bead 51 is concentrated to light diffuser 7 for transmission, and the light diffuser 7 is used to diffuse the light of lamp bead 51, so as to strengthen the identifiable effect of visual area 41.
