Lookin good Scout!

Hey, have you tried to motor with the RK all the way up? Is your
steering control OK?

Frank,
don't know if you jinxed me or not, but I had a devil of a time backing into
the slip last night. While backing, the prop kept pulling the boat hard to
the port side and it didn't matter how the rudder was positioned. I thought
maybe I needed to be further away from my slip before I had the advantage of
rudder steering but there wasn't much room to be had. Isn't there something
known as "prop walking" that refers to this tendency?
Anyway, it was difficult and I was tired but I got her in, ugly as it was.
