Full reverse?



You'd be surprised how far forward a 20+ ton boat continues to move forward,
even when the transmissions are in reverse with power on when trying to stop
suddenly from any speed. Normally at 5 knots I usually plan my stops about
30 yards away, putting it in neutral and letting it set up for the
prevailing wind and current.
