Today I found myself agreeing to move a friend's 400SD out of his slip to accommodate dredging operations as he was out of town and did not want the marina staff moving the boat. Light wind and no current and I had another marina neighbor on the dock to grab a line for me. I have been operating my 44DB for 5 years and some three hundred hours so moving a 400 SD should be child's play. I was taken back by how little authority the props had and how much power I had to carry to get the boat the behave and lateral to a side tie. Not a big deal but its just makes me really appreciate the power and torque my 8.3 ltr Cummins and 24 inch props have.
