    I was doing the opposite. That explains my multiple attempts every time

      You're not alone, L. I still forget sometimes, especially when I'm nervous or in a tight spot. Thanks for watching, and hopefully you have a new tool to make docking easier!

    I assume you're referring to a single engine?

    I like to think of it as “point and nudge”. This technique has the advantage of minimizing the amount of time the engine is in gear, thereby the amount of kinetic energy (how fast and hard you hit something) put into the boat.

      Absolutely! Thanks for watching, Robert!

      Agreed. Didn’t have a catchy name for it though. 😆 I’m going to risk copy write infringement here and use it when teaching my kids. Thanks!

      You got it, Paul! EXCELLENT way to put it. You'd be surprised at how many VERY seasoned boaters either don't know this or don't remember it.

      @@Drew-eo2oj Well, he said this was his best tip, didn't he? If boaters need these kinds of "best tips" that are really based on common sense, then I really prefer not to meet these people on the water. 🤦
      I hope BoatUS has more tips, I can't imagine this was his "best tip".
