Abstract
A method for displaying marine vessel information automatically selects a chosen visual display based on the magnitudes of one or more vessel-related parameters, such as engine speed, gear selector position, or vessel velocity. Based on the selected marine vessel operating condition, the chosen visual display is selected and the contents of that chosen visual display are presented on an information display device, such as a liquid crystal display or other type of monitor. As the marine vessel changes its operating condition, the process is repeated so that the marine vessel operator always is presented with the most appropriate screen images relating to the marine vessel at its current operating condition.
