A boat hook is one of the most critical tools to have. - “Don’t leave home without it” 👍

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

correct

[@subscriptionsonly7861]

And to the gentleman practicing docking, excellent job - Tony

[@stephengarcille4844]

Nice work Paul! Good coaching!

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@subscriptionsonly7861]

This video/training is invaluable. Great teaching Paul! Tony

[@BobEstler]

That was worth watching. A lot of people are intimidated by single engine shaft drive. You made it look easy.

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

I learned in one with no thrusters and struggled with twin screws myself

[@davida877]

Nice work - slow and steady

[@123turby]

Thank you Captain 👨‍✈️

[@krautAmerican]

I practiced daily for a couple weeks in a shallow spillway off the Detroit river when I 1st got my grand banks 36, but I have two Lehmans

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

little differant with two engines but it all takes practice

[@m.schneider6079]

‘At’s a perty boat!! Thanks for the video. Great stuff!!👍

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Thanks for watching!

[@rayvagabond3429]

When mastered,he will back that single screw in the slip.

[@krautAmerican]

Rich looks like captain Quint from jaws manhandling his boat the orca...............

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

right

[@rodneyjaynes2485]

I learned a lot from this video! Thanks Captain!

[@krautAmerican]

the Grand Banks has a 4 foot keel, when you do a turn into the current it can grab that keel like a sail and take you sideways quite a few feet, you have to be ready for it and compensate for it, it will happen real quick, especially a u turn on the Detroit river or where there is a strong current ..that bigass keel is a reason to put out a sea anchor too if you want to sit and fish unanchored so the current don't grab the keel and take you on a sideways ride at times

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Yes 100%

[@FisherPost]

You’ll love a bow thruster though- where I boat in the PNW, I have to account for currents and wind, so I love my bow and stern thrusters. This is a great video, thanks!

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Yes he will love it for sure but glad to see him learning without it.

[@davida877]

Your mentoring skills are unsurpassed - building confidence is a skill great teamwork

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

He was easy becasue he had no bad habbits

[@dianeassell6530]

Thank you for this great video. This is so helpful.

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Thanks for watching

[@Jmmondeau]

Yep. What most people don’t understand is that it takes short high bursts of power to kick the boat around then a reduction of power to maintain the heading. Great job.

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Ya most don’t care to learn

[@haroldconnell2973]

Great job, must of had a great teacher 👏

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Let's not go that far LOL thanks got my 100 ton today

[@erikyoutube5692]

Pretty cool…. I need to be doing this Chief I am not afraid…actually can’t wait But…I will wait for a nice wind day!

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Your boat handles like a dream brother

[@alannichols8977]

Great Job 👍👍

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jeromehebert3184]

great technique

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Glad you think so!

[@garviere]

Nice video very helpful. do you take into account your prop walk?

[@MyTube4Utoo]

Heck of a job. 👍

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

He did a great job

[@FodayYillah-li8lt]

[@jimgalligan50]

Never turn your wheel while in gear

[@mikenagy938]

Works fine when not a scrap of wind is blowing. What do you do with ten knots from any direction?

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

That’s not true but what ever you think. You cannot operate a single screw without using these moves in wind. It takes lots of practice and not easy to learn. Thanks for watching and God Bless

[@michaelkuhn7126]

Does the boat tend back to starboard?

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Yes it does walk that way

[@peterinsyracuse7056]

So that boat backs to starboard, which works great for his slip setup. I noted you had him using the rudder when in reverse. Does that boat respond to the rudder when in reverse?

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

not really but every little bit helps on a single screw

[@joejuska5390]

Why not show backing in to the slip? Slow is pro. What is sound signal for leaving a slip Captain?

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

He has not learned that yet, but he will and we will do the video. I did show him how to do it we just ran out of time.

[@Caplyle]

If this were a left handed prop, what would the move be for backing out of this exact slip? Would you just back all the way out the fairway?

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Well it depends in a GB 36 I would Turn it like I did that one. Prop wash is an effect but it’s not a huge factor. Every boat is different. But I would not change on a single GB 36

[@victorjcano]

SO WHAT DIRECTION DOES THE BOAT BACK TO? PORT OR STARBOARD ? HOW DOES THAT FIGURE IN?

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Natural pull is to starboard, once you get a feel for it you can use it to your advantage.

[@potuspeck6991]

Why 2 sticks with a single shaft?

[@pixbyeli]

One is transmission (forward and reverse) other is throttle

[@Sailsonly1]

Who did the install on the new Bow Thruster ? Would be great to have that info in my contact list . Thanks

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Florida Bow thrusters is who put this one in.

[@Sailsonly1]

[@johnduffy532]

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]
