Good morning,
We own a 34 Mainship Flybridge. I would like to master backing into our new slip. With a single engine, backing in can be a little tricky.
For those of you with a Mainship/single screw, when backing in does your boat have a tendency to move towards the portside?
Trying to understand prop walk, I understand that if you turn the steering hard starboard, and give a short burst in forward gear and then a short burst in reverse consistently. You can actually move the boat in a 360 degree turn.
Before we start practicing, was hoping for some advice from those who are familiar and experienced with the 34’ Mainship.
I believe that our prop moves clockwise while moving forward.
Thank you in advance.
Linda
