Docking With Wind or Current Away From the Dock
- Approach the dock slowly at a sharp angle (about 40 degrees).
- Use reverse to stop when close to the dock. Secure the bow line.
- Put the boat in forward gear briefly, and slowly turn the steering wheel hard away from the dock—this will swing in the stern. Secure the stern line.
