Default It finally hit me.

Yes, boy have I been dumb! But, I figured it out . . .

Lady Sailor is fat because she's pregnant. As soon
as Schoonertrash found out, like a good sailor, he
skipped town because he knew he wasn't even IN
TOWN when the Lady became pregnant. So, Lady
Sailor cabbaged onto Fulmoron and got him drunk and
married so her little one (*******) would have a secure
home.

Mike, I sure hope you have lots of money to share.

Trash - you are a real sailor!

Bwwwahahahahahahhahahahaha!

It's been 33 years since I had my last baby and I have no intention of
walking down that road at this stage of the game.

Now, stop obsessing about my love life and tell me how we can make our boat
back up straigt.

Counter-rotating props should do it.

If you've got a real nasty prop walk, you may never be able to back
straight.
Some things to try:
1. If you are going to be backing any distance, keep your hands off the
throttle, just use enough "astern" to get her moving in that direction,
with a bit of right rudder (try varying angles). Figure she will not go
perfectly straight, but may travel in a "sine wave". Just use enough
"astern" to keep her moving astern.
2. Looking at your rudder, in the pictures, it's no wonder, that once
you got her going to stbd, especially if you had a lot of right rudder
on, she would want to keep going .... that rudder becomes like a big
"skeg" and will pull her over ..... generally means you have too much
sternway on.

I've found the opposite to be true. To counter prop walk - when forward motion
has stopped put the boat in reverse and rev the hell out of the motor to get it
moving backwards past the prop walk speed then immediatly back off the throttle
and keep enough revs to back the boat straight to where ever you want to go.
