Excellent tips, although you should do another video on how to do these things with a single shaft boat.

PARK a boat? You park a car NOT a boat.

That's all good, but what if your boat has a single shaft drive? That changes things entirely doesn't it?

'park a boat'? I thought it was dock or berth a boat?

annieliz1965 - 7 years ago

I am in the UK and we moor, berth or dock. Not sure why he says "park".

bigman55434 - 7 years ago

It's the UK. They're a little bit different.

MrMrStamper - 7 years ago

Bowthrusters are great. Still, would be awseome if you could do a docking instruction video without thrusters. The "washing machine / sink" analogy is not adequate... If the washing machine is broken you can still wash in your sink easily. Contrary, on a yacht if your thruster is broken (and they do) and you don't know how to dock the yacht without thrusters, it might get a bit expensive...

t34bravo - 7 years ago

Great video! Exactly the info I was looking for and very well done. Appreciate it!

For Heaven shake !!!!!!!You don't ''parking '' a boat You DOCKING a boat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GEREEF - 7 years ago

I should have you on board a tanker i used to sail as a Chief Officer Hell is never enough.Over there you could call me NAZI. I was the fear of the ship with the trouble makers, with the decent seamans and the hard working A.B.'s i was pay the double over time Later on as a Captain i was quite (as i was older) Nazi??? i don't think so.Not even now as a pensioner....Men i was just try to correct you No Ofense

canonphoto - 7 years ago

Thank you boating nazi, now I hope no one calls the grammar nazis on you! Lol

Shadow Paranormal Society - 8 years ago

Great video!
2:32 Nice alarm after
you turn the boat on, I'm sure that's
normal and you did not steal the boat eh?

Plebasaurus Rekt - 8 years ago

you can just use the bow and sternthruster (if you have both of them) to go straight to the sides without using the engines wich i think is easier

okumonux - 8 years ago

I would be absoultely stressed out under these conditions! Funny enough that those people arguing "don't use a bow- or stern thruster" usually don't have a bow- or stern thruster". From my point of fiew Volvo revolutionized the industry by offering the IPS system. Makes boating less stressful and therefore more fun. What people tend to forget; those people who can afford a 50ft sports cruiser usually don't work as a pleasure craft captain...

pezzonovante888 - 8 years ago

How does docking work with a triple engine i/o offshore boat (no thrusters)? Shut off the center engine and use the two outside drives or shut off the two outsides and use the singe center drive?

pezzonovante888 - 8 years ago

That was helpful and informative. Thanks for posting!

highvelocity123 - 8 years ago

It should be noted, this boat has big diesel engines, turning big 20 inch 4 blade props. So it makes the boat very responsive, much more than an average boat.

Catherine Joy Remigio Andrada - 6 years ago

It's a caterpillar engine. ? sunseeker ?

xdeerizx - 6 years ago

Yea, I have twin IPS drives and there are two props per side but they are smaller. My boat would never move that good with only the screws.

Martin, Ron here! Just seen your comment to Biker Ŵellies about trying out thigh waders soon! Don't worry - I haven't forgotten that I promised to meet you at Mucking Flats, but it will probably be near the end of April, at the earliest! Regards, Ron Leitch.

matic šorn - 9 years ago

peter mundy - 9 years ago

Keith OB - 9 years ago

I have a single drive no bow thrust,30 foot Carver.My finger is to port,in reverse with winds to port at 15KPH,how would you get the bow around to port to come along side?With no tied

75gromit - 9 years ago

Nick you should do a series of them, twin & single stern drives, single shaft :)

ian011162 - 9 years ago

Targa 47? Well on the Fairline website there is no Targa 47. Is it a older discontinued model? Or is it a Targa 48 downgraded?

ian011162 - 9 years ago

Ah. Ok, Thanks!

75gromit - 9 years ago

Yes, it's replacement is the new Targa 48.

ian011162 - 9 years ago

+75gromit Have they stopped production of the Targa 47? On their website there is no Targa 47.

75gromit - 9 years ago

Its the predecessor to the Targa 48! As he said a 2009 model :-)
