A marine vessel (100) includes a hull (110), an operator station (130) having an operator interface (200) configured to receive a mode input and a lever position input, a left propulsion system (150), a right propulsion system (155), and a control module (410). Each of the propulsion systems (150, 155) includes an engine (320), a transmission (330), a troll valve (360) configured to adjust clutch slip, a shaft (340), a shaft speed sensor (370) configured to detect the speed of rotation of the shaft (340), and a propeller (350). The control module (410) is configured to receive the mode input and the lever position input from the operator interface (200), receive signals from the left shaft sensor (370) indicating a left shaft speed, receive signals from the right shaft (375) sensor indicating a right shaft speed, determine if the vessel (100) is operating in a trolling state, and determine if a sync mode is active, based on the mode input. If the sync mode is active and the vessel (100) is in a trolling state, the speed of the left shaft (340) and the right shaft (345) are synchronized.
