Abstract
A propulsion control system for a marine vessel includes at least one image sensor positioned on the marine vessel and configured to image an area behind the marine vessel, and multiple drive units configured to propel the marine vessel. Each of the drive units is steerable about a vertical steering axis. The propulsion control system further includes a controller configured to receive a prompt to perform an obstacle clearance procedure, and in response to the prompt, steer at least one of the drive units about its vertical steering axis to increase visibility of the area behind the marine vessel by the at least one image sensor.
