Is it me, or is there a decrease in maneuverability on a 4blade prop, single engine? I wasn't just rusty, I was just plain horrible with a nice 6" scratch on my vinyl stripe. WTF?

never aproch the dock faster then you want to hit it .

you must go in real slow to the dock maybe about 10 ft away put in nutral and just tap the gear shifter in foward and reverse until you get close enough to grab the dock with a rope or your hand's .
yes a 4 blade should have better bite on the water but it wont make your docking much easier. dont know what your senero is but if your giving it gas the 4 blade will hook up better and push you harder into the dock , try the netral methed it should work also remeber that a single screw will alway's pull to either the left or rite depending on the spin of the prop

More blades equals more control. Slow down and take your time.

Oh I forgot that too, I had to change it to a right handed to a left handed rotation.

I have noticed that both times I have switched from 3 blades to 4 blades that the docking has changed significantly. I have to work a lot harder with the 4's

The only time I ever changed from a 3 blade to 4 blade was on my 24 Outlaw and it was harder to dock. The 4 blade seemed to grab more and pushed the forward or backward faster and made it harder to get it suck in sideways.
