An autopilot system for automatically steering a marine vessel is disclosed. The marine vessel comprises two electric motors connected to respective propulsors, two rudders, a rudder steering mechanism and a navigation system for determining the vessel position with respect to an intended course. The autopilot system can operate according to one or more autopilot modes comprising at least a motor steering autopilot mode wherein the autopilot system is configured to automatically control the rudder steering mechanism in order to lock the rudders at a fixed angle, and based on a feedback from the navigation system to independently and dynamically adjust power supply to each of the propulsors by independently and dynamically regulating electric power supply to the respective electric motors in order to maintain the vessel on course.
