Docking
1. Make sure no obstructions, boats, or swimmers
are close to the boat. Come to a stop before you
reach the dock.
2.
Notice how wind and water currents are affecting
boat movement as you attach your mooring lines
and fenders.
3. Approach the dock at idle speed. Use reverse as
necessary during slow-speed maneuvering to help
control speed and direction. Position the boat
according to wind and water conditions.
Wind or current pushing boat away from dock:
Slowly approach the dock at about a 45° angle.
Secure the bow to the dock, then use engine power or
a boat hook to gently move the stern to the dock.
Wind or current pushing boat toward dock:
Slowly maneuver to a shallow angle and allow the
boat to move toward the dock.
Try to use wind or current to your advantage when
docking.
Do not use your hand, arm, or other part of your
body to try to keep the boat from hitting the
dock. You could be injured if the boat pushes
against the dock.
