Abstract

A system for controlling a marine vessel having first and second steering nozzles and 5 corresponding first and second reversing buckets, comprising: a processor configured to receive a first vessel control signal and that is configured to provide at least one first actuator control signals and a second set of actuator control signals; wherein the at least one first actuator control signals is to be coupled to and 10 control the first and second steering nozzles, and the second set of actuator control signals are to be coupled to and control the first and second reversing buckets; and wherein the processor is configured to provide the second set of actuator control signals so that the first reversing bucket is positioned in a first discrete position and so that the second reversing bucket is positioned in a second discrete 15 position, in response to receipt of the first vessel control signal that corresponds to a translational thrust command having a component in one of a port and a starboard direction, and to maintain the first reversing bucket in the first discrete position and the second reversing bucket in the second discrete position for all first vessel control signals that correspond to the translational thrust command having a component in the 20 one of the port and the starboard direction.
