If you floor it you can get more control..but make
sure you don’t crash into anything going backwards!!
Ohhh to have a bow thruster!! makes me salivate.

I have the same issue with a Maxi prop to starboard
in reverse.In fact,with a strong current,strong
winds,and the starboard action I had a rather
unpleasent experience in Beaufort,NC this
weekend.Are there any tricks that can get these
boats to back to port?Rudder setting,certain
speed?I’m thinking seriously about a bow thruster.

the max still gives a prop walk…quite severe,
especially whe you don’t want to go that way…LOL!

On the trip home from the haul-out portion of my
survey the boat was really pushing to starboard

(the

same side walks to when in reverse). My surveyor
Don (Owns Syringa) said his boat does this too.

Free

Spirit has the W58 and Syringa has the W60.

I was wondering if this was a common experience

and

what people have done (if anything) to improve it.

I

was thinking a Max-Prop could help quite a bit.

Prop

is marked 20LH13.

Thanks,
