Thanks Tristan for the best advice I have ever received on my boat. You certainly left me in a better citation on handling my boat 👏👏👏

Thank you for the tips! I live in Minnesota and boat a lot. Up until 3 years ago we had a 16ft. Fishing boat with a single outboard and it was easy to maneuver. Now we have a 22ft pontoon boat with a single 90 hp. Outboard engine. The first thing I noticed was it is much harder to maneuver as it sits in the water differently and the wind affects it much more. In addition there is much more mass involved. I know this is small compared to what you are used to but the same techniques are needed.
Thanks again!

Thanks Tristan.. Good point about the shore power lead. I didn't think of that (and I did my apprenticeship in electrics. 😮). I guess for me I have a Trader 47 (twin engines and Bow Thruster) I fitted a remote control for the Bow Thruster which is jolly handy when I'm on my own but the challenging one for me is when mooring into a berth (in the UK) when the wind is on the beam and blowing off the berth. The Trader has a lot of windage and it can be tricky getting her close to the berth long enough to get a line on the dock. Maybe the answer is ask for help with the lines. 😬 but I like to be able to do things without assistance. But always appreciate the voice of experience..

SYC, after watching your channel for a couple of years, I have started my won journey to be a Captain. I have just received my USCG OUPV Captains license and planning to go up to 500 tons. Thank you inspiring and teaching me.

Thank you so much for the most instructive videos. I would like to see more on docking an outboard twin engine 30-foot boats. Also on anchoring such boats.

I look forward to seeing more videos like this in different engine and propulsion applications. Every advice given in this video was spot on.

These instructional videos are really interesting. I used to fly Piper Archers and Cessna 172"s. When taking off or landing I had both feet on the rudders, one hand on the control column and the other hand on the throttle. When I got into boating and was learning how to leave and enter the dock. I used the same principle as flying, minus the rudder pedals, I always has one hand on the helm and the other on the throttle.

Tristan, as I said on the last video, these are very informative. I do have one question though, you had said the tension on the drive belt should be one half turn. I was always taught that it was 1/4 turn, in other words from a flat position you should be able to turn it 90 degrees and no further. Can't wait for the next one.
