Abstract:
An apparatus for adjusting positions of an outboard propulsion unit of a marine vessel comprises a jack plate having a jack plate actuator capable of moving the propulsion unit between raised and lowered positions and a swivel bracket having a swivel bracket actuator capable of pivoting the propulsion unit between raised and lowered trim positions. There is a control system operatively connected to the jack plate actuator and the swivel bracket actuator. The control system includes a first manual control which incrementally moves the jack plate an incremental amount each time the first manual control is actuated and a second manual control which incrementally pivots the swivel bracket an incremental amount each time the second manual control is actuated. Movement of the propulsion unit within a tilt range may be detected and the jack plate may be moved to a preset position.

Claim (Index 2):
The method as claimed in  claim 1 , including the steps of:\n operating the manual control a plurality of times in the pulse-like manner in rapid succession; storing in memory the plurality of times in which the manual control is operated in the pulse-like manner in rapid succession; and moving the jack plate a plurality of incremental amounts corresponding to the plurality of times in which the manual control is operated in the pulse-like manner in rapid succession.
