Hey T , check out Chapman's for some good info about the fine points of boat handling, Look into the use of spring lines in docking and undocking. I googled your boat and see that it has quite high free-board forward. This does make it tough to hop off onto a dock from the bow.


Making it a good idea to run the bow and forward spring back to the aft area during docking. to ease access to the dock.

It also covers maneuvering at slow speeds, and I think they talk about prop walking, which can be used to aid in getting up to a dock.

These are not my strong points in boating. But these thoughts have been coming up that may be of some help to you.

Cheers Richard
