With both propellers rotating at the same speed, the rudders amidships
and the engines in forward gear, your boat tracks straight forward.
When the boat is moving backward, its rudders are not as effective and
the side force from the propellers is used to steer the boat.
6.3.3.1 Maneuvering Astern
Backing a boat may be necessary in a crowded marina. Your boat’s twin
engines allow the boat to track straight astern or to either side. When
backing, be sure to keep your trim tabs up. To make a turn to port, shift
the port engine to neutral. A starboard turn astern is made by shifting
the starboard engine to neutral.
Check sternway (stop reverse motion) by shifting your engines to for-
ward gear and throttling forward.
Full stern turns can be executed, but watch the bow. The bow cuts a
much wider arc than the stern and collisions could occur in crowded
areas.
6.3.3.2 Checking Headway
Stopping the boat’s forward motion is referred to as “checking headway.”
You should learn how to confidently stop your boat within any required
distance. You can check headway by shifting engines to neutral and coming
to a complete stop over a long distance, or by reversing engines and stop-
ping within a shorter distance.
