Thanks for all the tips. I guess I was looking more for a maneuvering solution using
the engine (both forward and reverse) to offset the current. I'm also going to ask my
neighboring boat owners how they manage to handle the current.

Depending on which way your stern walks in reverse (probably not a
strong effect with a small outboard propellor) you might be able to
come in at a fairly good speed, have someone jump off and secure the
bow while you reverse like hell to pull the stern toward the dock.

Jumping isn't a good idea. Also, high speed isn't a good idea either
in close quarters.
