Very true just make sure they don't stick or idle high:readinghelp:

I was thinking the sammmme thing......

And as far as docking it takes practice practice practice, i learned on a 41 foot flybrige CristCraft, it was like a kit on a windy day, and the most important thing i learned is that NEURTAL IS YOUR FRIEND... go slow slow slow and dont worry about the spectators, the know it all's, and how long it's taking you to get in the hole, it's your boat and your the capt. and one thats going to pay to have things fixed if something goes wrong......

Thought I'd bring this thread up to the top again as we just got our first twin, 93 32' Fountain. First trip out last night with it and I've got to say, I NEED PRACTICE!!! Totally different animal than a single engine boat. I could put the old boat anywhere and not even think about it, this one, oh boy.... Thank god for my ability to stay calm and my amazing girlfriend running all over the boat just in case we got too close. It'll take some time but I'm sure I'll get it.

I like the one piece of advise (don't remember who said it now but thanks) saying to think of yourself standing in the cross points of an X, seems easy to think about in the heat of the "battle", going to give that one a shot next time out.
