A trim control system (36) automatically controls trim angle of a marine propulsion device (10) with respect to a vessel (30). A memory (40) stores trim profiles, each defining a unique relationship between vessel speed and trim angle. An input device (62, 70) allows selection of a trim profile to specify an aggressiveness of trim angle versus vessel speed, and then optionally to further refine the aggressiveness. A controller (42) then determines a setpoint trim angle based on a measured vessel speed. The control system (36) positions the propulsion device (10) at the setpoint trim angle.
