I am 14 years old I have an inboard bayliner boat and I can drive the boat forward and back words and I am pretty good at it

Forgot to mention that at speed when turning the boat likes to go left more than it does right.(Dependent on the prop rotation) This helps in picking up a rider in some situations or just general knowledge for driving your boat.

You don't "drive" a boat. You navigate the boat. It's a nautical term. You don't push your throttle back and forth like a lawnmower. You center your engines with the helm , then very gently place the throttle in the "floating position " You still have a lot to learn about boating son.

Boat handling - always good to learn how the different drives handle. My boat has an old school Berkeley jet with the old school Berkeley baby bucket reverse. Try docking a Berkeley boat sometime, or trailering, especially with a cross current or eddy [c: Good vid.

Your thoughts on over-correcting during low speed handling are right on, almost everyone zig-zags my boat at low speed, when they give it a go.

Trying to teach us about boating but makes a huge mistake right in the beginning starting the motor without the blower on.

True, the boat was recently started to get it over tho that location so there was not a need for it. I only use it when its on a cold start or refueling my boat.

Best ski boat tip I’ve ever learned: spinning the boat in its own length.
Crank the wheel over to the right, then alternate throttle pulses of forward and reverse idle. Forward + wheel over to the right will kick tail out clockwise, then pulse of reverse will keep you from going forward too far and the prop walk will bring the aft around even more. Repeat. You can dock anywhere using this.
For a MasterCraft - wheel to the left so it can spin the opposite direction.

I was wondering why I was getting a banging noise from my engine when I was going forward  at 40mph and slapping it into reverse. Thank you for clearing that up for me. I should not do that.

Great video
I miss my Ski Nautique.
I was a tournament slalom skier for years. I was wondering if you thought about putting a cruise control in your boat? It really helps to hold the speed in the slalom course.
Brad Putney
Brad Putney - 6 years ago
OK.
David Jessee
David Jessee - 6 years ago
Brad Putney I have to disagree.. perfect pass will compensate for a skiers pulling on the boat ... It is very hard for a driver to maintain a constant speed through a solid course with just throttle inputs..it's too much throttle other not enough.. the perfect pass maintains speed through the pass.
Brad Putney
Brad Putney - 6 years ago
I would recommend against using cruise in a slalom course. I have found strong slalom skiers will pull hard and constant throttle adjustments are required. I don't know of any cruise control that can keep up.
Sam Hansen
Sam Hansen - 7 years ago
You’d want Perfect Pass Stargazer for this boat.
CluEngineer

charlesskier so true! I wish I could move to Florida and ski year around! That would be sweet!!
charlesskier
charlesskier - 7 years ago
CluEngineer Perfect Pass will work great. It’s rpm controlled. Wires to the tachometer. When you come around a turn on the slalom course and get into your next pull it will since the load on motor and automatically add throttle. Then when you get off your pull before the turn it will decrease throttle a little.
Just move to Florida and ski year round. Lol
CluEngineer
CluEngineer - 7 years ago
You are right. Mine is just the throttle cable. My buddy on the same lake has zero off on his new Nautique and it is so nice!!!
charlesskier
charlesskier - 7 years ago
CluEngineer I had “Perfect Pass” speed control on mine. There’s one called “Zero Off” and it actually uses gps positioning but you need a drive by wire throttle for it to work. I think your boat is a cable throttle.
CluEngineer
CluEngineer - 7 years ago
charlesskier thanks! Yes, I really want to put one in. I ski at 36mph and sometimes I can tell the driver isn't paying attention on the speed. It is definetly on the list!

Great video, I'll try these techniques next time I'm out on the water.

I have a quick question though, I noticed your steering wheel turns to either direction with no apparent resistance. on my family's used 1994 sport nautique (I know it might not be quite the same to your boat) the wheel turns with alot of resistance to one side and almost none to the other. Me and my Dad thought it was P-factor from the prop, but after seeing your video and you steering the boat with ease I now think it might be the steering cable. Or maybe our boat is just old and can't be steered as well, it would just be nice of you let me know what you think, thanks!
Mac
Mac - 7 years ago
Yes, I did. We pulled the boat out of the water a few days ago, and the first thing i did was check the rudder for a trim tab. I dont know if it is (or even if it can be) in a different place or something, but theres not one on the rudder.
CluEngineer
CluEngineer - 7 years ago
Mac did you see the trim tab on my rudder?
Mac
Mac - 7 years ago
CluEngineer I can't seem to find a Trim tab on my rudder, guess I'll just have to deal with it...

Thanks Anyways! :)
CluEngineer
CluEngineer - 7 years ago
Mac go to my video https://youtu.be/PYSGgq0x6f8 and skip to 3:00 min. You will see that my trim tab on my rudder is turned to the left to reduce the p-factor. I know some people prefer have the tension on their steering wheel. You can see in the video I attached that my trim tab is far over to the port side. Try adjusting your trim tab on your rudder to fine tune it the way you like it. I hope this helps!
Mac
Mac - 7 years ago
CluEngineer it happens at a higher speed, if I remember correctly, which is why we thought it was kinda something to do with p-factor
CluEngineer
CluEngineer - 7 years ago
Is the steering issue when you are stationary or is it when you are moving fast?
Jorge Romero
Jorge Romero - 7 years ago
Great Teaching videos.
A side question. I have same yeas and make of boat as you. My question is..... did you know that PCM is no longer making the ECM modules for our engines? So, as I understand it if the engine computer fails we now longer are able to get our engines repaired and are let to replace it with a different power plant.
Have you heard about this or can you shine some light on this issue?

Thanks you.
CluEngineer
CluEngineer - 7 years ago
Jorge, if your engine ever goes out there will always be second-hand parts that work. There is probably still new ECM modules people are selling. There are companies and maintenance shops that will take care of you. I would not worry about that. Just keep your boat up with all the maintenance and take care of it. This will make your boat have a lot longer life!
