Abstract
A method for controlling a marine drive having a throttle handle moveable to control a thrust and a detent engageable to resist moving the throttle handle. The method includes configuring a position sensor to generate position data corresponding to positions of the throttle handle and receiving the position data from the position sensor. The method further includes analyzing the position data to determine a first position of the throttle handle in which the detent disengages and generating thrust with the marine drive when the throttle handle is moved into the first position.
