Ron,

I have a tight entry into my dock--three tight turns to be able to slide thru the pilings....I finally swapped the original prop on my 9.8 Tohatsu for a high thrust one...made all the difference in the world..Bites immediately when I give it power in forward or reverse....wasn't an expensive fix...did sacrifice a bit of motoring speed for the convenience...but worth it.

I feel a bit discouraged tonight.  I'd like some wisdom from the group.

I enjoyed Ozone this first season with her, but I also had some real
frustrations.  Once I get her out on the water I am fine and have a great
time.  It is the docking and leaving the slip in the wind that is really
getting me down.  The wind blows her all over and is very difficult for my
wife and I to control.  When we hauled her for the season I got her out of
the slip, but before I could get her from reverse into forward and get
steerage the wind blew her into the dock causing a nasty gauge on her port
side that I will need to repair before spring.

This is really getting me down.  No matter what i try the wind is winning. 
Any advice?

Ron
