Nautiques back up to the left, most other inborads back up to the right. Props spin in opposite direction!

Surprised no one has mentioned this.

Looks like fun please do it on a 5 to 8 knot windy cross wind day with the top up

This was great.  I'm always nervous docking on the driver's side.  Your vid really helped me realize what I was doing wrong.  Thank you!

Can you do a startup and leaving the dock with a skier video? Especially if you still have the older boat. Thanks! Appreciate your efforts.

Helpful video. I'm still learning to dock properly.

Awesome driving.. Just got an inboard wakeboat after 40+ years of driving I/Os and outboards. I cannot get the stern to come in to the dock on the port side at all, and that's the only side my dock allows for access. I feel totally lost in my approach and the boat is completely unresponsive to moving to port. I need some of your magic

So are you saying when we go into reverse on a direct drive it wants to pivot the stern to port???

Great video. I'm terrible at docking and getting onto our lift and this will hopefully help.

Then cut the tape, power load, and get on out the boat. 😂🤟🏻

For port and starboard, which way is the wheel turning when you are reversing to get parallel to the dock?

[terrivilardi]

Nobody ever shows how to dock between two boats

[legolasok]

Problem accur when it's a 3-up/ton, and up and 30ft with one engine single prop, rudder, and high free boar that take up wind and push the boats aside nomatter bowthuster and tight docking areas.

Ya I could dock a boat if it costs 50k

Anyone that refers Too the stern of the boat as the butt; Should not be giving instructions
