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 6):
The method as claimed in  claim 1 , including the step of providing a plurality of outboard propulsion units, each propulsion unit being mounted on the marine vessel via a corresponding one of a plurality of jack plates, each jack plate being powered by an actuator, and wherein the jack plates and the propulsion units are moved synchronously and the same amount for each operation of the manual control.
