A system for detecting and warning users of hazards in a marine environment using a vision system of a marine vessel is provided, the system comprising: an imaging device mounted to the marine vessel with an associated field of view of the marine environment, which includes water; and a processor configured to: identify, based on image data from the imaging device, an object in the environment that is a potential hazard for a swimmer; determine whether the object is likely to impact safety of a user in the water; in response to determining that the object is likely to impact safety of the user, cause an alert to be presented indicative of a hazard to the user in the marine environment.

Systems and methods for detecting hazards in a marine environment using a vision system of a marine vessel

A method of controlling propulsion of a marine vessel includes receiving an instruction to engage a wake control mode and then automatically effectuating a steering change and/or a propulsion output change. A vessel orientation response to the steering change and/or the propulsion output change is measured and a determination of whether a wake zone requirement is met is made based on the orientation response. If the orientation requirement is met, a current propulsion output that meets the wake zone requirement is maintained. If the orientation requirement is not met, a further steering change and/or further propulsion output change is automatically effectuated until the wake zone requirement is met.
