A method for calibrating a marine propulsion system that controls operation of a marine propulsion device on a marine vessel includes accepting an input signal from a user input device and determining an output signal corresponding to the input signal based on one or more stored parameters. The stored parameters are pre-calibrated to result in a predefined maneuver of the marine vessel. The marine propulsion device is operated according to the output signal and it is determined if any un-commanded maneuvers of the marine vessel result while operating the marine propulsion device according to the output signal. The method includes adapting one or more of the stored parameters so as to adjust operation of the marine propulsion device to abate the un-commanded vessel maneuvers. The one or more adapted parameters are saved and are used to determine subsequent output signals corresponding to subsequent input signals from the user input device.
