  2. Great advice Larry! I was hoping to get the boat in the water before the marina filled up so I could practice but that didn't happen. I'll try your idea about setting up buoys and practicing in open water.
  3. Cracker Larry, My drawing is not totally complete. There is a boat to the right me but I have a good amount of room to come in at an angle since his dock angles away from mine. I'll try the spring line from the amidship cleat next time out.
  4. This year I purchased my first boat with a single inboard motor and it has been an interesting experience learning to dock it smoothly. I purposely got an outside slip in order to simplify docking. So my far my best technique has been to come in at an angle to overcome any wind and attach a spring line from the front cleat on the boat to the middle cleat on the dock. I was hoping to be able to totaly pull the back end in by turning hard right and forward power but the spring line around the curvature of the bow makes this harder to do. I've attached a drawing of the docking situation and the prevailing winds in the area. Any andvice for this situation?
  5. I've been stopping in about once a week now. Here are a few of the deals I've bought: Ugly Stik boat rod $38 Pfluger trolling combo $50 Bunker spoon $16
  6. I'll be there. Hopefully I can catch a good seminar or two.
  7. I'm the guy you have been looking for that loves A1 Outboard and Arctek Marine!
