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.2015 Mojo Surf Edition

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.

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.

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
