BoatUS Magazine's associate editor Mark Corke teaches you how to dock a single engine inboard boat in a slip by backing it. To dock a boat, you'll use steering, forward and reverse gear, and throttle. Use prop walk to assist you. Position your boat at a right angle to the slip. Stop the boat with the transom in line with the dock by shifting into reverse. Shift to neutral, turn the wheel in the direction you want your bow to go, engage forward gear and give a burst of power to start the bow turning in the correct direction. Shift to neutral, turn the wheel the direction you want the stern of the boat to move, and engage reverse to kick the stern and further rotate the boat. Keep repeating these steps until your boat is aligned with the slip. Depending on your boat's prop walk, you may not need to use the wheel much at all. Includes drone footage so you can see the maneuver from overhead.
