    As someone who owned and drove cruisers quite a bit in the Netherlands I'd like to make this point: Practice makes perfect, never be ashamed to try and become familiar with your boat. I got to the point where I could reverse into a narrow boathouse without using bow-thrusters, regardless the wind, just by practising for hours. Might have driven my wife insane at the time, but man did she like the control when approaching a tricky mooring!
    As an experienced skipper said - a bad skipper blames his crew.

    Split-screen would be useful then we could see as you talk the reaction of the craft. Good show anyway.

    Nice video & vary informative. Where can I find videos with a overview of all the controls on a boat such as this to show what they are, what they do & how the controllers work?? If someone can help me, let me know please, Thanks.

    tip 1 and 3 were the same. if you use the wind right, can do it with a single engine boat too. done it with a rib last year

      No difference, as the boat shown here was operated as a single stern drive, IMHO.

  • @willdavis3332

    Nice video. For me, this would have been a little easier to follow had the helm shots been looking over the shoulder of the helmsman to give a POV perspective.

    Unfortunately the video did not make use of a double screen one showing the helm, another a synchronized aerial view if the vessel while maneuvering.

  • @michaellahrkamp9755

    Now do it with some wind and current. And hands off the bow thruster. That would make it impressive!

      I don't think he made this video to showboat his skills. Rather to explain how to move sterndrive boats fitted with bow thrusters sideways.

    Seeing the boat that was used in the example, I was expecting him to just say "push both bow and stern thruster sticks towards the dock" or "move the joystick to the side"

    Can a single engine boat be walked sideways? I have a Tahoe Q6 so that is a 20ft bow rider. Any reason I couldn't learn how to do it in mine?

    • @seikibrian8641
      @seikibrian8641 6 років тому +1

      Unless you have a bow thruster, no, you can't walk a single-engined boat sideways; there's no way to apply differential thrust.

    • @paterson00
      @paterson00 6 років тому +1

      I tried anyway and did manage to kinda walk in sideways using a wind blowing over the stern, i turned the stern towards the dock and the bow was blown round. After repeating this a few times I got against the dock but it was more luck than judgement. Without wind I doubt it'd happen.

    • @seikibrian8641
      @seikibrian8641 6 років тому +1

      Good job. Learning to use the wind and current...and spring lines...is essential on a single-engined boat.

    • @donzi32boats80
      @donzi32boats80 6 років тому

    • @donzi32boats80
      @donzi32boats80 6 років тому

      There's no reason with practice and proper technique you can't come pretty close. Depending on wind / current making a difference as you pointed out, but with practice you'll soon be able to at least get pretty close. Good Luck with you're boating, Enjoy...

    • @nothingsurprisesmeanymore
      @nothingsurprisesmeanymore 4 роки тому

      I think you'll find he only used the bow thruster on one of the 3 manoeuvres. The wake from the port side halfway along is the starboard engine in reverse.

    • @smileoftenatsea

      All you demonstrated is that you can’t dock a boat without the bow thruster. Why lie to people, when the point is to make an instructional video?

    Twin engines w. bow thrusters and a joystick. If someone w. that setup is watching a UA-cam video on how to maneuver a boat, then they should sell their boat.

    • @donzi32boats80
      @donzi32boats80 6 років тому +8

      I disagree, I've watched many of people who are relatively new to using that setup. I would hope they not only watch the video, but take lessons prior to destroying there boat and others. Same concept as learning to use you're electronics. It's all there, latest, greatest tech, if you don't know how to use it, It's useless.
