Abstract

See full text

A method of controlling attitude of a marine vessel includes measuring a roll motion of the marine vessel with an attitude sensor, and then determining that the roll motion exceeds a threshold roll where no corresponding steering input is present. The method further includes determining a counteracting drive movement for at least one propulsion device based on the measured roll motion and then controlling a steering actuator to move the at least one propulsion device to effectuate the counteracting drive movement so as to counteract an environmentally-induced roll motion of the marine vessel without effectuating a net change in heading and/or translation.
