Wow! That was a squeeze, well done.

[@mkrawats]

Excellent job! Captain and teacher were very calm. Before he knows it, captain will quickly be a pro.

[@davedavids9619]

Very nicely done. Tight space, but kept it very well under control. 👍

[@IamSpectre2020]

Great Video Chris.

[@AskCaptainChris]

Thx for watching. This was a long one today.

[@tommegan6500]

Love that big Huckins - looks well cared for too.

It's amazing how much abuse shifter and throttle cables get over years and years of service.

[@blewyd]

These seem to be fly by wire, or electronic cables. The new shifter and throttle cables don't seem to have the same problems as ones on older boats because they're no longer steel cable.

[@AskCaptainChris]

Also why the newer shifters auto pause in neutral, protecting us from ourselves, whether we stop in neutral (before shifting from forward to reverse) or not.

I would have said “put me on the long dock up front by the tour boat!”

[@AskCaptainChris]

@@FotoFFX you can’t always get what you want. 😎

My old school cables from 1986 are just fine but then it's only 1600 engine hours. I would be more worried for the clutches in the gear boxes. They are more expensive to replace.

[@walterdavis4808]

Tight spot ! That would be a tough spot for me

[@ddm220]

Don't like thruster. I like to use forward and reverse controls together .

[@barryholiday8998]

Might be helpful to use headsets

[@rel53]

more complicated than it should have been.... had he started the turn two slips further, it would have been so much easier.

[@AskCaptainChris]

Yup. We all started at the beginning. And when we are new boat owners we improve with practice.

[@ddm220]

Horrible slip ! I can just imagine the trouble on a real windy day !
