With a single engine boat, the torque of the prop will cause the boat to want to turn to the side, making it difficult for the new boater to easily back the boat into the slip.

What an amazing secret he discovered.................... 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. |
