I love your videos. I just completely renovated a pontoon, which took 2+ years because I've never owned a boat before. I finally got to drive it and my girlfriend and were dropping F-Bombs as though it was wartime. With your advice, I believe that we can now eliminate the stress, tension and fights. Thank you..!!

I"ll echo what others have said. This video made it so much easier to understand than some of the others. No shade against the others, they say the same thing but they say it in a different way. As a new boater who has struggled with docking I used what I learned in this video to dock the boat 4 different times today in four very different conditions. For the most part I had no problems. Thanks Dave I appreciate the help

Love the Top truck for bridges, etc. That was slick.

Excellent information and instructions..

you made it look so easy 🙂

Great video!!

Oh boy so much to learn on docking.

Seriously the best docking video I’ve ever seen. I’m a rookie boat owner with an I/O. I’ve had a hard time turning my boat in the correct direction. I watched this video once and my confidence was at an all time high. I can now control the boat perfectly and going out with my family is much more fun. Thank you so much.

Thanks, Dave. Going to rent in the Wisconsin Dells next week. Many moons ago I drove my Dad's and brother's ship, but this was a FANTASTIC refresher course for me!! Mahalo Nui Loa!

Great and easy instructions. You are a good at teaching. Keep it up.

Very good instruction. Thanks!

Regarding operating in the marina and docking, the captain who taught me said this many times- "Never go faster than you want to hit something" 🙂

I can't tell you how much this video helped my docking skills. Best docking video I have viewed!!!

Nicely done - thank you for this!

With a right handed prop is it easier to pivot turn clockwise vs counter clockwise or no difference?

how do you do those two items when you have a strong cross wind?

Hey thanks for the time always been a power boater just recently purchased a tritoon info should be a big help thanks

Best video on the internet by far. More docking and leaving dock (parallel parked situation)

Everybody kept saying just give it a bump. Now I know exactly how to bump. Thank you!

Pro

Very well explained. Thank you

Thanks a lot Sir

Excellent tips. Thank you! Great memories, as I grew up on Lake Roy!

Almost crashed three or four times this year at the Dockside in Torch Lake, Michigan. Tons of boats, high winds, and not a lot of room to maneuver in the channel. I think I lost five years of life from the stress.

Great information that was easy to understand and follow 😊

I feel so much more confident about taking my boat out for the first time today after watching your video. You’re a great instructor and simplified this perfectly for me. Thank you!

Good teacher Sir. I try to help in my marina all the time. It's like no one knows neutral exist. Sheeesh

thanks for explaining it slowly and clearly.

It’s very easy to follow your instructions. How about doing a docking method for inboard motors?

So why would you prefer to dock against post on the outside as opposed to the boards. My thought patter is the bumpers yo have hooked on your boat will keep you away from the dock better as opposed to trying to keep a bumper between the boat and a post? Help me understand this I just bought a brand new tritoon and want to protect as much as I can from damage

Thank you for making these videos!

Thanks!

Fantastic video, Dave. You are short and to the point. You are also a very good speaker and instructor. Thank you, and keep making these wonderful teaching videos!

Great video.

Beauty video, Captain

Lol I live in st James ,,, gone like Cadillac tail fins. Ya know if ya know.

Awesome advice

Making it look easy

Thank you

Thanks for your help

Thank you for your instructional videos. You have me (a new boater) more than you will ever know. Much appreciated and I'll keep learning everything that I can from you!

Awesome vid.. excellent tool to put in my box👍😎👌

Excellent video! Thank you!

New to this. Because the boats going to be in the water swaying won’t it scratch the boat? How do you prevent that?

Wow. Thanks for the tip!! I thought it would all be common sense (and this video probably is basic Info for boaters) but I certainly didn’t have this technique down… I was like the Wild West my first time not long ago parking!! This helps a lot. Thanks again. 😅

This is my first video to watch from your channel. As a retired educator of 25 years I really like your style. You explained clearly what you wanted to accomplish and then modeled the required inputs to get the job done. You have a new subscriber. Thanks for posting the video and sharing your knowledge.

Good tips but no perfect. Let’s see it not slamming the poles. Moving customers boats daily I would never let her hit that hard. Just kiss the poles never slam

What an EXCELLENT helpful video!! Thank you so much, super helpful!

What if your only option is the dock on the other side? ie in this video you let the current push you against the piles, but how would you approach the dock on the other side when the current and wind are pushing you away?

that sure was calm water and seemingly no wind. a trick is having a small rear view mirror, so you can see the engines direction, assuming it's an outboard and visible, that can also help in a tight area, but nothing replaces looking backwards to ensure what's there. bumping, grinding and wrapping lines in the prop isn't fun, same for running into heavy seaweed. I had to paddle and dock pole out of seaweed a few times so I could clean the prop and get moving again, not fun. 🙃
