You are not going to do any fancy parking with reverse in your outboard. Assuming you have a reverse rotation engine it will walk to the left when you put it in reverse. Other than that there is no way to steer accurately in reverse. Its kind of a general direction thing. ------------- "working on these old boats may not be cost effective but as it shows its what it brings into your life that matters" -Roger http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4897" rel="nofollow - 1973 Skier |

I have been boating for over 50 years & still am learning how to handle boats. A couple years ago we were with the Boy Scouts at Key West. We had to back a 40 ft sailboat out of a very tight slip, in 30+ mph wind with 3 ft clearance to million $ yachts. They used springlines, lots rpm out of the 20hp engine, & we did it! The rich people were looking pretty worried the whole time. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

Yep, learned to ski behind an old aluminum tub with fins & tail lights, the motor must have been early 50's vintage.
I always admired the woodie inboards, guess that is why I tune into a ski boat website all winter long. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |
