    I hate to admit it but I'm having real problems pulling into my slip. Does anyone have any tips. I'm off tomorrow so i'm gonna head to the lake and practice.

    I have problems too.
    I enter the channel where my lift is on the port side. When I try to turn left directly into the slip, more times then not I need to abort and back out. I have better luck, passing the slip closely on the port side, then turning to the right and turning 270 degrees and entering the slip at a slight angle toward the 11 o'clock position and slowing and spinning into the slip.
    I know some have good luck approaching directly toward the 2 o'clock position and slowing and allowing the reversing prop rotation to pull the stern to the starboard as you enter the slip. i have trouble getting that to work for me.

    This is kind of a preferred method, kind of like docking. But, when the wind is blowing and the bimini is deployed it can sail in any direction.

    What problems ate you having.

    Comparing it to trailering the boat what are your differences?

    Do you have guide poles on the dock?

    I have guide poles with heavy duty ballast hoses covering to protect the boat.

    I'm off tomorrow give me a call if you want to talk.

    Thanks Mike. I'm not sure I understand the 2 o'clock method. I'm trying to do it like pulling on the trailer, but I've only had to trailer 5 times, so I'm not very good at that either. Yes I have guide poles covered in PVC.

    I'll give you a call tomorrow, AM or PM?

    The 2 o clock Pat mentioned is aiming the boat at 2 o'clock then reverse pills the rear end around.

    The best advise I can give you is slow slow. I always have Claudia up front to help guide.

    I try to come in really straight but I have a straight shot.

    Afternoon would be best

    Mike - Could you possibly use your cell phone to capture video of you pulling in to the slip and post it here for Gil? - Stuart

    I'll see if I can today. But not sure

    Had to leave the boat behind my dock last night, caught in a suddenly nasty storm with crazy winds. Normally Claudia is in the front and ill drive.

    Ill try to get something when I put her away today.
