[Rhodes22-list] All tied up

[Joe Camp]

Dave:  
Thanks for the reply. I was more concerned with the actual mechanics of tying up the boat: how many & what type of lines, where to tie off, how close to the dock?

Joe, in a word, slowly.

It's important to put your motor in neutral and lose all you headway.
Then nudge the boat in with short, easy pulses of forward or backward
power. One of those things I learned after a couple of nail biters.

I have a tight marina and am glad to have the rudder linked to the
motor with Stan's ingenious steering option.
