A marine propulsion control system for a marine vessel has a drive unit to be connected with the marine vessel. The drive unit comprises an upper part pivotably connected with the marine vessel and a lower part having propellers. The lower part is rotatable in relation to the upper part. An input unit obtains an activation message indicative of an operation mode for the drive unit. A control unit is configured to control the drive unit on basis of the activation message obtained from an input unit. The control unit controls the drive unit within different predetermined operation modes, wherein one of the predetermined operation modes is a swim mode in which the control unit rotates the lower part of the drive unit so that the one or more propellers is/are facing forward in a position of minimum 90 degrees compared to a rearward facing position of the one or more propellers. The control unit ensures no thrust force and/or rotation of the one or more propellers in the swim mode.
