RE: Better reverse steering control!
Hi, and good luck on steering in reverse. I have had several 18-25' single screw boats, and backing is tough. They have outdrives, which helps. You may notice that the boat "prop walks" in reverse....if the rudder is straight, the boat will tend to back either to the right or left depending on rotation of the prop. You can use this property to dock and do maneuvers with your single screw. I have several Dumas runabouts, single screw, and they dock well using prop walking. Practice, and it works. See you on the pond. A larger rudder will also help, and you can make it a clip on so you can remove it for display.
