Thanks for this Nice vidéo. For months, I’ve been struggling to drive my to inboard engine boat, with more or less success, and thanks to your vidéo, I better understand how it works. Now, it’s clear! Î’ve already seen some vidéos on this topic, but none of them was so … clear 👌 Thanks again! François.
As an absolute beginner, this is a very helpful and well done video. I'm about to take delivery of a brand new 895 Sport and all of your videos have been very instructive. Mine has the joystick, but definitely want to learn all ways to maneuver the boat in tight quarters. Thank you for sharing and cheers!
Very good and useful video Bob and Nicky. I must have watched it a dozen times by now. Lovely to see that sunshine and smooth seas. Nayland Marina looks a great place to keep a boat.
Something so joyous about watching boating tuition vids done well, it seems to be a lot of fun captaining your own little ship. Keep vloging, they help with the daydreams lol. 👍🇬🇧😁
Great video explaining how to do it last year bought a twin outboard as always had a single and this video makes it look easy looking forward to practicing it this year.
We just bought a 31 foot Chapparral Signature - SO much bigger and heavier than our 19 foot Maxum speedboat 😆 so we have to learn how to safely maneuver it into & out of our slip at the marina.
Very helpful thanks. Took our 895 out for the first time last week. Unfortunately quite windy but slowly does it is the key. Maybe Jeanneau will put a colour on their steering wheel logo to help with the engine alignment!
Brilliant Video Bob and Nicky. Very well explained. Easily the best on RUclips explaining how to berth a twin engined boat. Very well illustrated ( given your limitations of just one camera). Well done. I hope it gets the views it deserves. Keep up the good work. A possible subject for a further video could be “Tips and Tricks”. This could include the anchor swivel, mattress toppers, keeping a supply of drinking water (over and above tanks). Your clothes Pegs etc etc. Anything in fact that you have both found makes life aboard your 895 more comfortable or safe. By the way do you carry a spare anchor and rode? Do you every use an anchor buoy connected to a tripping line in case you get a fouled anchor? Thanks again for all your videos. Much appreciated!
Many thanks as always John!! Some great suggestions too for film content which are duly noted 😁 and more than achievable to include in the future. We don’t carry spare anchor and rode and don’t use an anchor buoy. I think if we couldn’t get to marine supplies easily that would be a consideration, or if we were considering a long trip. The charts seem very accurate in respect of sea bed and anchoring recommendations (so far!) and we also chat to locals for any tips and local knowledge, whenever we can, in respect of good places to use for anchorage. Time and experience on the water may change, or amend, that view and we’re always open to new views and ideas as we meet more very experienced boat owners in our area - and of course on You Tube in this amazing community we all enjoy 😁😁☀️
I put a small piece of black tape on my nc895s wheel to get an idea of when it’s centered. It’s also 9 full turns from hard port to starboard so even if I’ve lost my center (and I’m solo) 4.5 turns and the tape get me back to center. Enjoy the videos!
Many thanks Goodrichgreg - those are good checks for the centre position and I suspect I will be counting 4.5 now!!! 😁. We’re glad you’ve enjoyed the films and of course our 895’s are greattttt fun!!!
Sir You just uncomplicated the whole process you and your bride Go and look at all the other docking and backing videos no one mentions the bow thruster but operator is excercing the option of that button your video is the most informative thx Thx Tony
Also you need to be aware the props in forward are more efficient than in reverse, hence slightly more throttle input in reverse to obtain the perfect stationary pivot 👍
hello, which model of garmin navi you have? do you suggest 12 or 9 is enough big? I saw you have zipwake instead lenco trims, what is diference in practical life and do you suggest them? Thanks, Rado from croatia.
Hi Rado - a lovely part of the world for boating!! We had the GPSMap 8410xsv in the walkthrough film - so 10” I think the 12 also fits. Depends on your budget but I personally would go for the largest screen that fits!! There’s a film on the channel about the Zipwakes and again, personally, I preferred the Zipwakes over the Lenco’s we had on the 795. The Zipwakes will run without you having to do anything!! Thanks for watching 😁 We were at Trogir a few months ago - loved it 😍
Consider moving bow thruster on above 10 o'clock from steering wheel,there is enough space for it. It will be much easier to operate with it. Greetings
Thanks for your question Dottnico1 😁 All the manoeuvring was done without any steering input at all. We straighten the engines as we approach the first left turn into our berth area and from then on no steering is involved. Hope that makes sense 😁🚤
Hi Olaf, thank you for watching our videos and I’m glad you like them. I think having two engines is safer because if one fails you have the other to get you out of trouble. Two engines give you more power to get you through strong tides and currents. Manoeuvring and docking is much easier with two engines. I hope this helps.
Thank you so much for that Olaf and so glad you’ve liked them. Well there’s a question!! ( and it looks like you’ve got twin replies from both Nicky and I!!)I’d be biased and say two after making the change but of course twice the running cost is certainly not for everyone so we were lucky to be able to do that. If you can do two though then we’ve found that manoeuvrability was a real bonus together with the extra power and upgraded Class B category boat that we ended up with. Both boats, the 795 and 895, created great memories though that’s for certain!! 😁😁☀️
Thanks! Just happens to be the boat I’m interested in. Haven’t seen it yet. I’m kind of tall……..hopefully enough headroom for me in cabin 🤔 May i ask how tall you are?
Great video but wouldn’t the pivot point be at the stern when you have one engine in forward and the other in reverse, I can’t see how it would be in the center of the boat 😳
@@PowerboatingAdventures Sorry but the pivot point would be between the two engines. Laws of physics. Unless you are moving forward or reverse at the time 🤔
This technique is for inboard engines (shaft drive) not for sterndrives/outboards.. you should use helm and then one engine at a time - gives most efficiency. Such technique works in light winds, but would need much of throttle in higher winds. The engines are too close to one another to have the leverage. Can work on lighter boats or with less beam. But in calm weather - it works and it is fun. But should not be your only skill.
Nice video but sorry I have to disagree about your manoeuvring methods. Why would you not use the wheel (when manoeuvring) when you get so much steerage from it? The method you have used is very much a shaft drive technique, utilising prop walk and wash. As you don't have rudders you won't get any wash effect and as the prop moves on the engine prop walk is negligible on an outboard.

Excellent, thank you! It's time you offered 1-2-1 tuition :)
As an absolute beginner in the process of considering buying a boat I found this very helpful. Thanks
Many thanks indeed Steve and some exciting decisions coming up for you!! 🚤☀️

Many thanks for that and so glad it helped 👍😀
You had me at "cut from a piece of last nights barbeque sausage wrapper". Great informative vijeo. Thanks.
Many thanks Blue Star - big budget films with us 😂😂👍

Many thanks indeed Peter, much appreciated. Loved the 895 Sport when we did the walkthrough film and the joystick addition will be awesome!! 😀😍
Hi Bob & Nicky,
Brilliantly explained and the sausage wrapper was a nice touch.😄
All the best,
Paul.
Hahaha - thanks very much Paul - sausages were great too 😁☀️
Very good and useful video Bob and Nicky. I must have watched it a dozen times by now. Lovely to see that sunshine and smooth seas. Nayland Marina looks a great place to keep a boat.
Thank you John and yes those were amazing weather days!! You’ll be trying it out yourself soon 🤞🤞🤞🤞. 🚤☀️
Something so joyous about watching boating tuition vids done well, it seems to be a lot of fun captaining your own little ship. Keep vloging, they help with the daydreams lol. 👍🇬🇧😁
Hi Steve, many thanks for that and yes it certainly is fun. They were daydreams for us once so you never know!! 😁
I’m learning to drive a 1095, your video was excellent, very helpful!
Many thanks for that Phantom Phlyer and very glad to have helped :)) Enjoy that amazing 1095 :)
Great video explaining how to do it last year bought a twin outboard as always had a single and this video makes it look easy looking forward to practicing it this year.
Many thanks Graham and it is! Slow and steady!! 😁
@@PowerboatingAdventures definitely any other plans for tutorial videos like this or just boating ones really enjoy your content
Great instruction!! Good detailed explanation and demo. This will definitely help as we learn how to steer our twin engine boat!
Many thanks Kathleen and we’re so glad it was useful. What boat are you steering? 😁😁🚤
We just bought a 31 foot Chapparral Signature - SO much bigger and heavier than our 19 foot Maxum speedboat 😆 so we have to learn how to safely maneuver it into & out of our slip at the marina.
Wow a fantastic boat and how exciting!!! and yes a step up but such funnn!! :)
Great video Bob. Watched it a few times now. Hope it won’t be too long before you post another one? Your videos are much appreciated. Thank you.
Many thanks as always John :))
This is a really useful video!
Many thanks indeed Marine Boy, much appreciated 👍😁
Very nice explained 👍
Many thanks indeed Boris 😁
Very helpful thanks. Took our 895 out for the first time last week. Unfortunately quite windy but slowly does it is the key. Maybe Jeanneau will put a colour on their steering wheel logo to help with the engine alignment!
Thanks Barrie and first time out is exciting!! You’ll get used to it - just need to go out lots more - any excuse!! ☀️☀️😁

Many thanks for your comment Tony - we’re glad it has helped 😁🚤
I learned a lot. Thank you!
I don't have a ship yet, but I'm looking forward to getting it.
(Google translate)
Many thanks Hana and yes do get one!! 😁🚤
Super cool ❤
Many thanks for watching and for your comment :)
Useful video
Many thanks Pat 👍

Many thanks Demirel, certainly another option 😁😁🚤
how can you see the direction of the engines while driving in reverse considering that the aft seat does not allow you to see them?
Thanks for your question Dottnico1 😁 All the manoeuvring was done without any steering input at all. We straighten the engines as we approach the first left turn into our berth area and from then on no steering is involved. Hope that makes sense 😁🚤
Hello you two. Your videos are super beautiful and very informative. Now I have a question for you, are two engines better than one?

May i ask how tall you are?
Hi Tom, It has been such fun on the 895 Offshore :) Please see my other reply regarding cabin height etc. :)
My mate is looking to get a new boat he is looking at the new series 2 795 or the 895 what would you recommend?
I may be biased - the 895!! 😁 To be fair they are both great fun though 🚤😁
Is there a joystick extra?
Yes a joystick can be added at extra cost :)
Thanks for watching !
Nice job - next time in a force 4 ;-)
Thanks Phil and yes everything a bit swifter then!!! 😂💨
And maybe not so calm!
Calm is always the key, together with a plan, or two, especially under pressure!! 😁🚤👍
Great video but wouldn’t the pivot point be at the stern when you have one engine in forward and the other in reverse, I can’t see how it would be in the center of the boat 😳
With the wonders of motion Gary the power comes from the rear (or front bow thruster) and the pivot, or turning point, comes from the middle :)
@@PowerboatingAdventures
Sorry but the pivot point would be between the two engines.
Laws of physics.
Unless you are moving forward or reverse at the time 🤔
Sorry I correct myself, the pivot point is in the centre of the boat, there must be something else going on apart from just forward and reverse 🤦
It's dark magic Gary I'm sure of it :))

Thanks for watching Mantas - it worked well for us and I agree shouldn’t be the only skill! 😀
