A method of operating a marine propulsion system (1) in a trolling mode. The marine propulsion system (1) comprises at least one propeller shaft (6) which can be driven by an engine (2), via a pressure operated forward clutch (4), in a forward direction or, via a pressure operated reverse clutch (5), in a reverse direction. A forward pressure is applied to engage the forward clutch (4) to a certain extent and, at the same time, a reverse pressure is applied to engage the reverse clutch (5) to a certain extent. A value of the forward pressure is different from a value of the reverse pressure so that the propeller shaft (6) is caused to rotate in a desired rotational direction. A control unit with mechanism to operate the marine propulsion system according to the method and a marine propulsion system with such a control unit are also disclosed.
