Free Boat Lesson single Screw Grand Banks 36 no thruster with Rich 

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

And to the gentleman practicing docking, excellent job - Tony

Nice work Paul! Good coaching!

Nice work - slow and steady

I was a little confused coming from an i/o boat as to the reverse bump without spinning the wheel, but realizes from you other video that reverse, because of the counter clockwise rotation of the prop and no wash across the rudder, pulls the boat to starboard.. now i get it!

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

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

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

Thank you Captain 👨‍✈️

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

Great job, must of had a great teacher 👏

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

I learned a lot from this video! Thanks Captain!

Great Job 👍👍

great technique

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!

Definitely easier without wind and current but the theory was demonstrated. How come no mention of prop walk to explain the physics of it? I have a GB32 and when in reverse the stern will "walk" to starboard making counterclockwise turns very easy. I noticed that all turns in this vid were counterclockwise. Try making the same maneuvers in the clockwise direction. Very difficult especially when you have an adverse wind blowing the bow down.

Never turn your wheel while in gear

Heck of a job. 👍

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

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?

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?

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

Right handed prop?

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

Does the boat tend back to starboard?

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

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

Why 2 sticks with a single shaft?
