The one thing that makes this so hard is that the fairway for most people is much more narrow than what you had to deal with. Ur technique is great no doubt but when you make that first turn to starboard at my dock you will immediately be within the danger zone of someone elses boat so its hard to be super calm.

John o'neal I get it. Slow and easy and it’ll be fine. The method I use for control is what I am teaching on the video.

John o'neal - 6 years ago

what would you do if while you were perpendicular to the slip you had a head wind? Would you just bring it in bow first?

John o'neal - 6 years ago

Used Boat TV - Boat Reviews and Boating Education yes i see thanks!

UsedBoatsTV - Boat Reviews and Boating Education - 6 years ago

Great question, yes you may have to pull her on in bow first. However if you can allow for the wind and get your aft side against a support, you can actually use that with just a bit of throttle to pivot her inside the slip. Make sense?

I hope the video benefited you.

Great video! Your "in gear - back out" method worked perfectly. I recently purchased a 26', up from 19', and was struggling with backing it into my new slip. Tried your method this weekend and the boat backed into the slip like it was on rails.

Nick Rider glad to hear it. Creates confidence for both you and your guests.

this is sick! I am trying this weekend!

I can't tell you how helpful watching this video was for me. Backed my boat into my slip for the first time ever this season. Two times so far using your method and worked great both times. Wasn't able to do it without touching anything like you did but hopefully before long I'll get there. "Put it in gear.... back out" is the key! Thanks!

I appreciate your comment! Glad to hear it helped you.

NICE, Ive been slipping my boat for years now and still get nervous lol. you make it look very easy. next time im just going to think of your "in gear...... back out" lol. tnx for the video

Thanks for the video! How does wind affect you here? Looks like calm wind? Thanks again.

BuggieChief - 8 years ago

Yup! Thanks for sharing!!

UsedBoatsTV - Boat Reviews and Boating Education - 8 years ago

No wind that day if I remember correctly. Typically I see what direction it's blowing and allow a little for it. You may stop your movement by tapping forward or reverse, without making a complete revolution with the wheel before doing. That will stop your momentum, and stop the wind from carrying you too far. Make sense?
