Docking with Twin Engines

[@ajaurgemma5341]

For all those watching that are new boaters, I highly suggest going out and throwing a fender or even a life jacket into the water and just practice coming up to it on your boat.Too many people spend far too little time getting to know they’re boat. If you take some time and play around with the controls you’ll become a pro in no time!

[@NikosWings]

That’s the best video I’ve seen on using differential thrust to dock with the proper explanation

[@ScoutyBoyO]

Is this the same technique you use docking your cirrus?

[@gocoastgaurd721]

Did not expect to see Niko here 😂. Now i think i need to be as jealous of your boat as I am your plane.

[@d3w4yn3]

Well... this was very good!!! Pretty smooth handling, but also, really easy to understand instructions! I almost feel like I could do this now!!!

[@nissan4ever1988]

The most helpful video , how to make the boat spin without steering , very useful for beginners like me .

[@HarborsideMarinaYachtSales]

Thank you for watching!

[@anthonyfoxlive]

Excellent video

[@johnklein1650]

How about docking to the windward slip?

[@ddriskill1]

That’s much easier than my single inboard/outboard. For the negative comments about wind direction and speed it was still a very informative video. Good job!

[@st-dm5mr]

Great video. Now I just need to get 2 engines. After I get a boat. After I move somewhere with water. After I get a better paying job. After I convince my wife of all of these things.

[@a.p.mexico1071]

I already convinced my wife of all those things! I'm one step ahead of you! The Yucatán Peninsula is waiting for us in less than one year! Good luck with your wife!

I didn’t know Jonah Hill was a captain. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@Theone-yv3ub]

Very clear. Very helpful. Thank you

[@bill-gray]

This was helpful, thankyou.

[@mansve23]

Great explanation Tom

[@ChrisSmith-kb5jg]

Good job cap

[@BigMacProDaddy]

nailed it Tom!

[@Bonedock8228]

always maneuver into the wind or current, whichever is stonger. You don't want the wind or current to control you, you want control with engines

[@lennymcmillion]

Agree. He said to start upwind. This is NOT a good idea. Always do against the wind/current whichever is stronger... He makes it look easy cause the wind always blows the bow, so he didn't have to control the bow. Good video for selling the boat though haha

[@patrickprochnow32]

Very nice . The issue I have is I am driving a Dual Console......

[@robintaylor1490]

Can you move the boat sideways to dock ?

[@harrymurphey2634]

... always, always make sure you have centered your helm ... and keep your hands a way from it !!!! Shifters and throttles only ...

[@michaelmulligan4165]

Very helpful demonstration .

[@Elioslock]

I thought he pointed out a finger slip way at the end of the marina. But that was smooth. Good job captain.

[@cb202cam]

Thanks. I found this very useful.

[@windslarry3797]

YES, very good info overall, with one MAJOR mistake! I COULD STRONGLY ARGUE to never get off the boat prior to it being secured by a line.

[@richardkaye2228]

Great tips it’s obvious he goes boating

[@Rick-tb4so]

You make it look easy...

[@blewyd]

Docking with twin sticks IS easier than a single engine.

[@gocoastgaurd721]

Lol I was like “Man that looks like CT…” then saw the channel haha.

[@jnorriect]

My hometown at that. Grew up climbing around Harborside when it was Clinton Harbor Marina and my dad worked there

[@HarborsideMarinaYachtSales]

@@jnorriect so cool!!!

[@HarborsideMarinaYachtSales]

Very Connecticut hahaha

[@ericpuente]

Thanks for the video. Question- why wouldn’t you use port side engine in reverse when the dock is on the port side of the boat, and then control the angle with forward bursts on starboard engine? Was it because of the wind?

[@scottclayton5821]

Port reverse would you move the stern of the boat away from the dock on a port side tie. Think of it like driving a shopping cart. Those same physics are in play when docking a twin.

[@konstantinoschristou3701]

Thank you friend.

[@clearwater036]

thx for the video.

[@randydevoe4803]

I saw that engine cover tap on the dock..

[@susansutton8537]

You make it sound so easy… Lol

[@salvor1]

Is the spring line tightening a lock on the front cleat?

[@HarborsideMarinaYachtSales]

The single spring line in this case is actually one line acting as the bow line and the spring line. It runs from the bow cleat aft to a cleat on the dock where it is cleated off then runs further aft to the midway cleat on the boat. The spring line in this case tensions both the bow and stern line and insures that the boat doesn't slide aft hitting the outboards.

[@SuperAncientAlien]

I like your shoes

[@Lifefouji]

Speed boat alongsite in other ship video send please. I need .please help me

[@andrewsisty0]

Most ppl don't have that much room. That looked like a double wide slip but gj though!

[@romacgames6968]

Real easy if another boat was in the upwind slip!

[@chucksmith9772]

Oooooo. I saw the motors rub at 5:09

[@sharonbraselton4302]

wr9ng

[@boond007a]

Try doing that docking in a real scenario... 1) dont drift from the right of the bay to the left, bring it in to the port side dock directly. 2) have a boat next to you, where there is much less pay and pace to save yourself. . Explain how you line up, how to know your pivot... What you did there may as well have been drifting to the T dock at the end.

[@lornejanes6001]

Eric P is right. Reverse the engine on the side you want to go. To dock on port side, port engine reverse that moves the stern in - starboard engine short easy bursts forward moves the hull around straight

[@pdje]

1:27 you can tell he was mad when the camera was facing the other way

[@villasisbacag]

Thank you!

[@BruceStott]

Why are you handling twin outboards like you would twin inboards? Different drives, different techniques.

[@markomarten]

Decent video but the sound was dreadful, maybe play it back before you post in the future.

[@benkaruzas6018]

Peep the motors slamming the rear of the slip 👀

[@kenlee-97]

Yep, thought they WERE close to touching the pier

[@DavidPattersonS]

The audio though......

[@HarborsideMarinaYachtSales]

we've worked on improving it! appreciate the feedback though!

[@Rlnthndr]

ive never understood why people treat outboards like inboards. For spinning the boat its great. But when docking just use the steering wheel. The little props outboards have dont throw the torque an inboard does to effectively change direction without revving the nuts off the engine.

[@VangoghsDoggo]

How about docking with a boat next to you. You used both finger slips to do that. It's not often a boater in real boating has that luxury.

[@dashcamchronicles7956]

Was thinking the same thing

[@jnorriect]

You do the same thing, and make sure you don't hit the boat next to you. The boat is the same thing as the pilings at the end of the finger slips, or any other obstacles, essentially.

[@richardjohnson33755]

No boat in the other slip? Too easy. You had like 25ft to back into. Come now.

[@HarborsideMarinaYachtSales]

I agree, however , you have to remember this was shot in early April in CT there was only like 10 boats in the whole harbor at that point. Also the video is meant to be a concepts tutorial not a docking chops competition. Its was also a brand new 0 hour boat that was for sale so no need to risk scratching her up....

[@inquisitive980]

And teaching the concept.

[@richardjohnson33755]

Agreed, just breaking balls. The video was good though. Only, like said, real life scenario/ tutorial you wouldn’t be able to use both slips to put her back into 1.

[@pulpfiction111]

looked to me he was headed to the slip beside him,he was in that slip and the wind pushed him to that dock,lets see him park between 2 boats or ar least one parked beside him while he backs into the other.....lame video

[@HarborsideMarinaYachtSales]

No need to watch.

[@alastairsmith4339]

Wear your kill cord!!! It's a super important safety feature and you shouldn't be teaching anyone anything without wearing it!

I have ear cancer because of the blaring audio. Learn to level your mic input. Wow.

HiperFin Thanks for the comment. We don’t appreciate jokes about cancer. Please keep comments like that to yourself and off of our channel. Thank you for understanding.

[@hiperfin]

@@HarborsideMarinaYachtSales Humor is subjective and if you can't find humor in the dark sides of life then I feel sorry for you. I've had family members fight and lose and others fight and win against cancer. Boo hoo if you don't like the joke, this is the internet and we're adults. All I can say is learn how to use a microphone and basic video editing software in order to level your audio because that was utter crap.

[@HarborsideMarinaYachtSales]

@@hiperfin As the person who actually did the video I can appreciate the humor. I did actually try to fix the audio and its better than it was. The wrap around windshield combined with trying to suppress the wind noise made for some wonky acoustics. I'm sorry for the impetuous and churlish nature of the previous comment. Filming outdoors on a moving vessel has its challenges and we are always striving for the best quality videos possible. All I can say is that this video is meant to be educational and is not in the running for an Oscar, also I am personally sorry to hear about your auditory ailment however as viewership is voluntary we are not responsible for any injuries....

If that’s loud to you, you probably shouldn’t ever be on a boat.
