I am new to boating and would like to get some opinions on docking and
how it "should" be done. I have a Wellcraft 270 Coastal with twin
Evinrude 200's.

-When docking (perpendicular) should I be steering the boat when
maneuvering or using the engines to spin the boat 90 degrees? I'm
having a hard time with spinning it and keeping it where it needs to
be. ARG!!!
So far every time I've tried to spin it I've had to abandon that
effort and steer it in. It works but I don't want to get accustom to
doing that if it's actually easier to use the engines.

ANY helpful advice on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks for the help everyone, I'll use your advice while practicing.

figures out too.

Unless you live in a desolate area, the only thing you'll get from a
motorcycle, sooner or later, is a serious accident that might kill you.

The sad thing is that I love motorcycles and would love to own and ride
one again.
