A method for controlling propulsion of a marine vessel includes receiving a lock control instruction designating two locked axes and one unlocked axis out of a surge access, a sway access, and a yaw access. Upon receiving the lock instruction, a current GPS position and a current heading of the marine vessel are sensed and a movement track is defined for the unlocked axis based on the current GPS position and the current heading. The movement track is defined such that the vessel position with respect to each of the two locked axes is unchanged. A thrust command input is received and then at least one propulsion device is controlled to move the marine vessel on the movement track based on the thrust command input while automatically maintaining the vessel position with respect to each of the two locked axes.
