My wife was reluctant to take the helm of our boat but I just kept nagging her. After all, it was for my benefit if I fell overboard or whatever. She finally took the wheel out on the largest local lake and after going through the start..forward/reverse stop exercise a couple of times, she was in no hurry to hand back the helm. I'll insist that she drive the boat at least yearly.

She can drive the boat and is even pretty good at docking, she just
doesn't want to. Our boat rides are more to get her to unwind from
work than anything else and she is not interested in fixing anything.
