SKIPPER LARGE POWER COURSE (4.9/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) : https://www.nauticed.org/powerboating-courses/view/skipper-large-power-boat When the wind is blowing you downwind to an end tie dock on your port side and when you have a standard right-hand-screw propeller or twin screws, you can use this very simple technique. Simply go past the slip and back the boat in taking advantage of propwalk (for single engines) to angle your stern in or use a small short amount of dock side engine in forward to angle your stern to the dock. Tie a stern dockline aft onto the dock. This and other powerboat docking and training is available in NauticEd's Skipper Large Powerboat Online Course at: https://www.nauticed.org/powerboating-courses/view/skipper-large-power-boat #boating #powerboating #education #howto #docking


I am still trying to diagnose the issue with a lack of water running through the engine. I took the cover off the impeller (water pump) just to eliminate that as a cause. It looks fine. So, based on on my gathered intel, I am now assuming that the problem is a blocked intake (thru-hull) under the boat. That means that I need to go for a swim at some point soon. The temperature of the water is now 44 degrees. 🥶 Restoring this old sailboat is continuing my education on marine mechanics. Love it!
