Abstract
Methods and systems for performing water slip control of a watercraft. One method includes determining, with an electronic processor, an intended path of the watercraft based on input received through an input device and an actual path of the watercraft based on data collected by at least one sensor mounted on the watercraft. The method also includes comparing, with the electronic processor, the actual path of the watercraft and the intended path of the watercraft automatically altering, with the electronic processor, at least one operating parameter of the watercraft when the actual path of the watercraft and the intended path of the watercraft differ by more than a predetermined threshold.
