[Rhodes22-list] STEERING QUESTION

[Robert Dobson]

I have a question of appropriate procedure on strearing in harbor areas when 
using sail and motor. My concern is turning to port with engine ingaged, If 
the rudder is fully down the prop is going to be in contact if I am not very 
careful to limit my degree of turn. Obvoiusly I am doing something 
improperly, Excuse my ignorance. I am assuming steering with the rudder and 
leaving the motor alone in the strait position. Any advise is appreciated. I 
can not find any mention of this in the support material I have found. Is 
the answer to steer with the motor with rudder is tiller lock position. This 
ineffishent and very tuff because the motor is very low over the stern.
