A marine propulsion system comprises an electric marine drive having an electric motor in torque-transmitting relationship with a propulsor, a controller configured to vary a speed of the electric motor, and a feedback device configured to provide an input to the controller. The controller is configured to vary the speed of the electric motor according to a set of operating parameters so as to periodically vary a speed of the propulsor. The controller is configured to update the set of operating parameters in response to receiving the input from the feedback device.
