Programmable automatic docking system

A programmable automatic docking system for a marine vessel comprising:

• a set of port side transducers, wherein the set of port side transducers further comprises:
• a pair of distance sensing transducers located on a port fore side of the marine vessel;
• a pair of distance sensing transducers located on a port aft side of the marine vessel;
• and
• a lateral port side position transducer;
• a set of starboard side transducers, wherein the set of starboard side transducers further comprises:
• a pair of distance sensing transducers located on a starboard fore side of the marine vessel;
• a pair of distance sensing transducers located on a starboard aft side of the marine vessel;
• and
• a lateral starboard side position transducer;
• a stern thruster;
• a bow thruster;
• a forward/reverse driver selector, wherein the forward/reverse driver selector works in conjunction with the stern thruster and the bow thruster;
• a plurality of actuators, wherein the plurality of actuators control the forward/reverse drive selector;
• a programmable processor control unit, wherein the programmable processor control unit further comprises an automatic processor operating in real-time to communicate and transmit a set of distance and velocity information provided by the set of port side transducers and the set of starboard side transducers to the bow thruster and the stern thruster;
• a control panel, wherein the control panel further comprises:
• an on button to activate the programmable automatic docking system;
• an off button to de-activate the programmable automatic docking system;
• a port button, wherein the port button activates the set of port side transducers to transmit a set of distance, position and velocity information of the marine vessel to the programmable processor control unit;
• a starboard button, wherein the starboard button activates the set of port side transducers to transmit a set of distance, position and velocity information of the marine vessel to the programmable processor control unit;
• a plus button;
• a minus button, wherein the plus button and the minus button allow for a final pre-selected distance to be entered between the marine vessel and an external object;
• a slip forward button;
• a slip reverse button;
• a buoy button;
• a bow distance, velocity and position transducer located on a bow of the marine vessel;
• and
• a stern distance, velocity and position transducer located on a stern of the marine vessel.
