Backing w the A25 isn’t bad. You can back using the rudder at 2 to 2.5 knots. 3 knots and you’ve got a handful. You need to hold on tight because if gets away from you the rudder will slam against the stops and possibly do damage.
But there is the usual prop walk. The A25 is such a light boat maneuvering in tight places w wind and current means at times you’ve gotta act fast to keep up w the A25 that loves to dance around.
Practice Practice ... and the best of luck.
