Abstract
A method of planing a marine vessel propelled by an electric propulsion system operably connected to a rotatable propeller system including that a command input requesting an increase in throttle is received. The method also includes that it is determined whether the marine vessel is on plane and whether there is sufficient power and energy available in the electric propulsion system to reach planing speed when the marine vessel is not on plane. The method further includes that power output from the electric propulsion system is increased for a selected period of time such that the electric propulsion system is allowed to overshoot continuous power limits of one or more components of the electric propulsion system for the selected amount of time. The one or more components of the electric propulsion system including at least one of an electric motor, an energy storage device, and an electric controller.
