Keeping the boat in forward, even at idle, will help immensely. Jump back to

put her in neutral, and cut the engine(s).

I hope this helps.

Everything helps!

Have to figure that out myself.
I'm never shy about getting educated, so I expect to spend some time
watching others and practicing before I get my feet wet.
Luckily, I'm pretty good at backing trailers.
