be pushed. The farther the boat is from the slip, the more it will be impacted by
cross winds and currents during the approach. Plan accordingly.
•
Use forward, neutral and reverse as necessary to bring the bow into the slip. If
the stern is at an acute angle, you can turn the rudder hard over to the
appropriate side and engage forward gear to “spin” the boat around the piling.
•
Do not use excessive throttle! Leave it at idle and use the gear shift to control the
movement.
•
At very low tide, it may necessary to use the throttle to “push” the boat into the
slip.
•
As soon as it can be done, the spring line should be retrieved and put on the
starboard bow cleat. Once this goes taut it stops the bow from hitting the dock.
•
Make sure there is a fender midships on the starboard side, and a fender board
(or horizontal fender) on the port side next to the piling.
•
The two bow lines and the stern line should be attached.
•
Double check that all lines are attached correctly and that boat is sitting as it
should in the slip.
