// I like the docking capability of a twin for sure.. Forgot about that.. I just spear mine in at 1 knot or so sometinmes if i have too. It really does not want to trun left in reverse period. On windy day's you only really get one shot at docking a single.. It's hard but doable :) |

My 27 was the same way. It would just crab walk straight backwards in reverse even with the wheel cranked to full lock, but the other direction it would spin within it's own footprint. Never could figure that out.

I guess you both guys were spinning a LH prop, right? When reversing, a LH prop spins clockwise, "pulling" the stern to stbd. This contrast the effect of the wheel steered to port, eventually making the boat go more or less straight. When turning to port in reverse, the two effects work jointly - that's why the boat spins within it's own footprint. You can improve the steering to port in reverse of a single LH prop boat by fully lowering the port flap and fully raising the other one, but that makes the whole maneuver a bit hairy. With a RH prop, the effects are all the same, just the other way round. |
Kind of like our old direct drive ski boats that I grew up on.
