Abstract
A marine propulsion system for a marine vessel includes one steerable rear marine drive positioned along a centerline of the marine vessel and a lateral marine drive positioned at a bow region of the vessel. The rear marine drive is configured to generate forward and reverse thrusts, wherein the rear marine drive is steerable about a vertical steering axis to a range of steering angles, and the lateral marine drive is configured to generate lateral thrust on the marine vessel. A user input device is operable by a user to provide a sway demand input commanding sway movement of the marine vessel, and a control system configured to automatically control steering and thrust of the one rear marine drive and thrust of the lateral marine drive based on the sway demand input to generate the sway movement commanded by the user.
