Looking for advice on how to REALLY dock an IO boat against a wind, like the picture above. Using a typical 28 to 30 ft cruiser that weighs 7 to 10 thousand pounds, with twin IOs and no thrusters. Have a wind pushing you away from the dock, and toward another boat, and have about 8 ft to play with. Wind is 10 knots, which is very common.
The Boating Forum - Docking a power Catamaran - I'll suggest approaching the dock at an angle into the wind , swinging the bow to bring the boat parallel to the dock. Secure a mid-ship cleat springline to a slightly forward dock piling or cleat . Than your boat is under control and minimum reverse power with the
I own two boats. Both outboards and both in the 20-30 ft class. Neither boat is made to go 30-60 miles out of Morehead which is where I will be docking. With all that said, I’ve been looking at the Pursuit DC 365. I enjoy the layout of the boat where it is family friendly and you can get out of the elements but at the same time you can fish.

The Boating Forum - Pontoon boat & Bigfoot engine - Hello, I'm new to this forum & looking for some advice. I'm currently considering purchasing a fishing pontoon, specifically either the Princecraft Vectra 19-2S or 21-2S. I'm aware that these boats aren't fast by any means, maybe top speed around 20mph. But I'm
It's up to the boat owner to fill their own boat. I think the reasons are several, including fuel spills, filling the wrong hole (rod holder, waste, etc). It never bothers me, as I have a relatively small boat and I'm usually only putting $100 or $200 in at a time, and that doesn't take long at $3.50+ a gallon.
I have a 2004 Road King single axle aluminum bunk trailer. I was the first customer from my dealer to put their boat on this type of trailer and it also needed some further adjustment once I got the boat home and had some experience with it. I have had zero issues with the trailer in 2 seasons of use (Ok, I did have to replace 2 light bulbs!).
