a controller in signal communication with a power-deployable anchor and a propulsion-based electronic anchoring system; and
a user input device in signal communication with the controller;
wherein in response to a single user-selected option input via the user input device, the controller is configured to deploy the power-deployable anchor under a first set of conditions; and
wherein in response to the same single user-selected option input via the user input device, the controller is configured to activate the propulsion-based electronic anchoring system under a different second set of conditions.
