Abstract
A method of controlling at least one battery-powered electric marine drive configured to propel a planing marine vessel includes receiving a control command to engage an efficiency control mode configured to provide propulsion efficiency of the electric marine drive at a planing speed of the marine vessel, comparing at least one propulsion output value for the electric marine drive to at least one battery range optimization value indicating optimized propulsion output efficiency, and generating a range optimization action based on the comparison.
