I don't know why he's trying to make a big deal out of backing up a
boat. Some single-engine boats back up easily, some don't. You learn
what your boat can do and make the mental adjustments.

My new boat has a bit more "bow steer" than I am used to on single
engine boats. I fiddled around with engine angle, trim tab settings, et
cetera, until I found a happy medium. I'm sure our boy Reggie, the
"experienced" boater who has found the reverse slot on his imaginary
boat's controls, has a better answer.


Yes, I do.
