Zusammenfassung:A marine propulsion system (10) for a marine vessel (2) includes an engine (16, 17, 18) effectuating rotation of an output shaft, at least one battery (30) configured to power a marine vessel load (35), and an alternator (21, 22, 23) having a rotor that is driven into rotation by the output shaft and that outputs a charge current to the at least one battery (30). The marine propulsion system (10) further includes a control system (40) configured to operate the engine (16, 17, 18) in a propulsion mode and a generator mode. Upon receiving a generator mode command to start the engine (16, 17, 18) in the generator mode, the control system (40) operates the engine (16, 17, 18) in accordance with a set of generator parameters to charge the at least one battery (30) while a shift system of the marine propulsion system (10) is locked in a neutral position such that the propulsor (26, 27, 28) cannot be engaged and the marine vessel (2) remains stationary.
