[QUOTE="airshot, post: 499232, member: 1183"] Once you get up and start moving around it makes a small tinny steer off course !! You should have an idle speed of around 650-700 rpm and not below. Use the shifter to make changes in forward/ backward direction like brakes. Dont enter a dock or slip straight in ( parallel to the dock) any wind or current will blow you off course. I always approach at an angle bow first, the use shifter/ reverse to bring the stern into the dock. You do need to go fast enough to maintain headway and steerage but be prepared to use reverse as a brake and bring the stern into the dock. [/QUOTE]
