  • receiving a running trim position for the propulsion device;

    receiving at least one of a steering input value or a roll angle of the marine vessel;

    determining a magnitude of the steering input value or a magnitude of the roll angle of the marine vessel;

    determining an adjusted trim position based on the magnitude of the steering input value or the magnitude of the roll angle of the marine vessel; and

    operating a trim actuator based on the adjusted trim position to decrease the trim angle of the propulsion device below the running trim position while the marine vessel is turning.
