Need some advice.
We had to do a pumpout yesterday. The pumpout station was at the beginning of the dock. Meaning as you enter you have docked boats on both sides. Approching the dock was not a problem. I just used one enigne slow and easy. At idle with both engines in gear I am going 5mph, so I use one engine unless I need more power.
So here was my delima. I was tied up at the pumping station and finished. I had about 20-30 feet in front and back.
Question: How do you maneuver away from the dock without hitting the boat in fron or back and without taking out your swim platform?:huh:
BTW: The admiral found out a 20gal holding tank doesn't last long......:smt021
