I'm already in the habit of not using the wheel when I pivot to go stern in into my slip. I have been in the habit of using a little throttle though. It's going to take some practice for sure!

We snuck her out today for about an hour. It started raining as soon as we left the marina. Ran her around a little bit anyway. Lots to learn about she handles with regard to trim and such.

My first try of backing her in was pretty much flawless and instantly gave me some satisfaction being that this was my first time with this boat and first time with a dual binnacle setup.

Sierra - thank you!

Its been very exciting! We've been out a couple times and plan to go out tomorrow. I am staying the night on her tonight with my daughter and a couple of her friends, although just staying IN the marina.

Its been a lot of learning on my part and figuring things out, but thats half of the fun in my opinion.
