I have problems backing out of my slip into a very narrow fairway. I have a bow
in Port tie. Backing out I have to pull forward past my slip, back into my slip
using the port prop walk. Then pull out forward. Find it is much easier to just
back in to begin with. Luckily I have a bunch of boat
The original problem reported was the Newport 41's stern wants to go to
starboard when the skipper wants it to go to Port.
If the prop is indeed Right Handed, the stern should walk to port when you give
it a short burst of throttle in reverse. Curious why that is not happening for
you. Is the
On my 34 I found I have a lot of prop walk in reverse (worse than other boats I
have helmed - probably due to the two blade folding prop). I had a slip last
summer that only made sense to go in forward (we only have a gate on starboard
and the finger to starboard). I tried a strategy that was

Can you come in stern to?
Prop walk, etc. is exacerbated when moving slowly in forward or reverse.

throttle, neutral and reverse drive your

When I upgraded the engine on my 40 I increased the prop pitch, which made her

Ladies and sea dogs,
Just when I think I have the reversing thing nailed, I lose the bow
even in little to no wind. I have a right handed prop and should prop
