MARINE DRIVE CONTROL OF A MARINE VESSEL IN A CONFIGURED OPERATION MODE
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a device, 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.

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.

10. A device, comprising:
one or more processors to; receive an operation mode input to place a drive system, of a marine vessel, into an operation mode; configure a first marine drive unit and a second marine drive unit to be positioned in a first configuration based on the operation mode input, wherein the first configuration corresponds to positioning the first marine drive unit and the second marine drive unit for control of the marine vessel while the drive system is in the operation mode; identify, while the drive system is in the operation mode, that a first throttle and a second throttle are both in a same drive position, wherein the first throttle is associated with the first marine drive unit and the second throttle is associated with the second marine drive unit; and configure the first marine drive unit and the second marine drive unit to be repositioned into a second configuration while both the first throttle and the second throttle are in the same drive position. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to; receive an input to place a drive system, of a marine vessel, into an operation mode; position two or more marine drive units, of the drive system, in a first configuration based on the input, wherein, when in the first configuration, each of the two or more marine drive units are configured to generate propulsion in different directions relative to a center line of the marine vessel; identify, while the drive system is in the operation mode, that a throttle control, associated with the two or more marine drive units, is in a same drive position; and position the two or more marine drive units into a second configuration based on the throttle control being in the same drive position, wherein, when in the second configuration, each of the two or more marine drive units are configured to generate propulsion in a same direction relative to the center line of the marine vessel. - View Dependent Claims (20)
