reverse the process. Secure a little slack in the other dock line, then
slip your eye up through its loop and over the top of the pile. Your
line can be dropped through the other eye.
When debarking from a dock, it is easier to release the line from a cleat
or piling, from on board the boat, as soon as you leave the dock. Loop
a long line around the cleat or pier and leading both ends on board you
can release the line easily. Slip one end around the cleat or pile, then
pull it back on board. Release the line without the eye splice, so it will
run freely from around the pile without hanging up on the splice.
STEPS TO STERN DRIVE DOCKING
Stern drive powered boats are fairly easy to back up and maneuver with
a little knowledge and docking practice. One of the most important
aspects of the process is to keep your calm in the wake of a busy marina.
Basically, the reversing propeller is turned in the direction you want to
go by using the wheel.
Some boats tend to be infl uenced by the wind. When backing down
in a crosswind, allow room to maneuver and watch the bow. Try not
to overreact or get excited, but use your knowledge and experience. If
the wind begins to swing the bow, you need to stop backing, turn the
wheel to port and go forward to straighten the boat. Use a quick burst
of power but not too much to knock your crew off balance.
* Control in reverse idle position, Outdrive to port.
A. Stop the boat by shifting in reverse. Put the wheel over to the port
and begin backing in. Slow down your speed by momentarily shifting into
reverse.
