[Public-List] Backing up

[Al Adelman]

We had a 3 bladed prop on Asylum that had a lot of port prop walk but
had enough bite to get the boat moving so that you could get some rudder
authority.  We went to a 2 bladed prop to reduce drag for racing, but
lost a lot of power and it also reduced the prop walk.  We actually were
able to find the port prop walk very useful in backing into our slip.
However, our experience has been that no matter what kind of prop you
have, you won't get much rudder authority until you get the boat moving
pretty good.

Has anybody found a way to steer an A-30 when backing up?  Is there a
propeller that works better than others?
