[Alberg30] How do I back this boat?

[Gail DeMoss]

Some problems with reverse boat direction can be avoided by giving the 
boat plenty of power.  Really push the throttle hard and get her going 
fast.  Don't be timid.  An old Coast Guard Captain taught me this.  You 
will get a much better response from the rudder.  I would practice this 
in open water and not at the pier with other boats close by.  You'll get 
the hang of it right away and then it is safe to back in to the slip at 
the pier.  Don't be timid with the throttle.
