Multifunctional displays and display systems for marine vessels

A multifunctional display for a propulsion system of a marine vessel, the multifunctional display comprising:

• a sequential, indicator comprising a first portion, a second portion, and a transitional portion between the first portion and the second portion,
• the first portion depicting changes in a characteristic of a first component of the propulsion system during a first operational mode of the propulsion system,
• the second portion depicting changes in a characteristic of a second component of the propulsion system during a second operational mode of the propulsion system, and
• the transition portion depicting a change in operation of the propulsion system between the first operational mode and the second operation mode;
• a marine vessel icon having a first icon simultaneously depicting the changes in the characteristic of the first component of the propulsion system during the first operational mode of the propulsion system, and a second icon simultaneously depicting the changes in the characteristic of the second component of the propulsion system during the second operational mode of the propulsion system;
• wherein the marine vessel icon changes position with respect to the multifunctional display when the propulsion system changes from one of the first operational mode and second operational mode to the other of the first operational mode and second operational mode.
