Not surprised to hear a lot of single engine stories popping up. Much more difficult than twins. I’ve done many of the reverse of shame to get out of a bind. Luckily have only put a few rashes on my boat.

Have noticed that a bigger prop and external steering affects the singles a lot. My buddy’s 25OL with a 23p prop and no external steering handles docking much better than my 266 with external and a 29p prop. Must be turning radius and less slip at idle.

Happens to the best of us.
