Practicing Boat Handling Puerto Rico
It comes as a shock to amateurs in boat operations to learn that the skills learned in automobile operation have minimal application in maneuvering a boat. They are usually inured to feeling the back end of their vehicle following diligently the front part tracks in cutting corners. In vessel operations, this is not the case. Actually the fulcrum point is way back on the third quadrant of the yacht. The stern in turn knocks repeatedly into the pier as the operator is turning the steering wheel towards the sea. This makes pulling from the dock a frustrating ordeal in skillful boat handling Puerto Rico.
Backing back is easiest when operating boats having outboard engines. The wheel is turned or the tiller pushed towards a particular direction while the propeller moves side to side. The steering wheel is pulled in the desired direction. The speed the stern is moved at should be carefully controlled because the pushing goes against the direction the water is moving towards by use of the transom flat surface.
An outboard/inboard levers in a similar manner to the outboard but its outdrive unit is obscured from the sight of the helmsman. Thus, accurate maneuvering has a lot to do with observation of how the boat reacts rather than watching how the outboard changes position. The transom is usually placed higher for this kind of a vessel and thus the risks of submerging while the boat moves astern is minimal.
After you have wrapped you finger around how the controls feel and their tightness, backing an inboard boat with two engines skillfully becomes easy. Both rudders are put in a straightforward position and left at it. To come back to a conventional line, both engines are put in reverse applying the same throttle force on each of them. To slowly back into the port, starboard engine throttle is increased while port side throttle is decreased. Turning quickly requires putting of an engine of port side at a neutral.
It becomes a more difficult task to back a vessel with one engine. Actually you need more practice to achieve this. It is this difficult because of its single propeller which creates the paddle wheel result. When one propeller blade lands acts on the water, it pulls the stern in its direction of turning. That is the difficult part of it.
So if you are that boat rider using one engine vessel, be keen and practice a lot. Sometimes you may need to back in some tight spot. If you lack the experience, you cannot move forward and this is a waste of time and inconvenience.
If you are looking for perfection in the stern forward movements, practice in a calm day with little boat traffic in the ocean or lake. Halt the movement and then throw a thing that floats well in water. Then do practice taking it back to the boat. Soon you will find yourself comfortable controlling vessel movements and also its reactions to forces of wind and waves.
A point to note is that backing back into shallow waters is dangerous. The prop can strike rocks or bottom. It is not to be attempted too when someone else in a vessel behind you. The engine is to be shut off if you think someone is behind you in the water.
