Abstract: A marine vessel is disclosed having a control system for automatically controlling thrusters for steering the marine vessel for the purpose of aiding an angler who has hooked a fish. The control system will automatically control the thrusters based on the positions of the propulsion unit control levers if the control levers are split. The control system may also control the thrusters if the propulsion unit control levers have moved past a predetermined threshold. The predetermined threshold can be set by the operator of the marine vessel.

Abstract: An example of controlling a marine vessel is described herein. Some examples involve receiving an input to place a drive system of a marine vessel into an operation mode; positioning, by the device, two or more marine drive units of the drive system in a first configuration based on the input; identifying, by the device and while the drive system is in the operation mode, that respective throttles associated with the two or more marine drive units are in a same drive position; and repositioning, by the device, the two or more marine drive units to a second configuration based on identifying that the respective throttles are in the same drive position.
