Have you ever wondered why docking your power boat is so darned difficult? Well, there are about 15 legit reasons why. The good news is, you can learn to outmaneuver your boat.
The number one reason is hull configuration/bottom shape. Today’s power boats have no keel or even a small skeg to prevent sideways drift.
As a result, when you turn your wheel to execute a tight turn to enter your slip (Boat 1), your boat does not follow your planned path (Red Arrow). Its previous momentum dominates and over-rides your plan. You T-Bone (Boat 2) the end of your dock or crash into your slip neighbour.
