I have just moved slips from a port reverse out into a wide fairway (perfect for prop-walk assist) to a new slip with a starboard reverse out into a narrow fairway.
Given this and new currents and wind directions to deal with I am suffering anxious moments getting out of the slip.
I am tempted to reverse out of the slip and all the way down the fairway. Does anyone have any advice on how well a 35-3 will keep a straight line in reverse one you have gotten up to a reasonable speed (1.5 kts?)
Is it easier to look over your shoulder or slip around to the other side of the pedestal and retrain my hands to work the throttle and gear shift backwards?
