Abstract
A marine vessel configured to be situated in water. The marine vessel includes a first marine drive and a second marine drive each configured to propel the marine vessel in the water. A first actuator is configured to change a trim angle of the first marine drive in the water. A second actuator is configured to change a depth of the second marine drive in the water. A control system is operatively connected to the first actuator and the second actuator. The control system is configured to change the depth of the second marine drive via the second actuator based on the trim angle of the first marine drive to prevent damage to the second marine drive.
