A system for controlling a marine vessel having first and second waterjets comprising corresponding first and second steering nozzles and corresponding first and second reversing buckets, is disclosed. The system further includes a processor configured to receive a first vessel control signal and that is configured to provide at least one first actuator control signal and a first set of actuator control signals. The at least one first actuator control signal is to be coupled to and control the first and second steering nozzles, and the first set of actuator control signals are to be coupled to and control the first and second reversing buckets, The processor is configured to provide the first set of actuator control signals so that the first reversing bucket is positioned in a first discrete position and the second reversing bucket is positioned in a second discrete position, in response to receipt of the first vessel control signal that corresponds to a translational thrust command having a component in one of a port and a starboard direction, and to maintain the first reversing bucket in the first discrete position and the second reversing bucket in the second discrete position for all first vessel control signals that correspond to the translational thrust command having the component in the one of the port and the starboard direction.
