    Expert boaters will tell you that most of the skills acquired during automobile handling do not apply in vessel situations. During their lessons, they get used to the feeling that the back of their boat always follows closely with the front parts when cornering. They soon get to know that actually they pivot a third way back. Trying to pull from the pier becomes frustrating for someone learning boat handling Puerto Rico watches an experienced person doing it well.

    If you work using a boat with outboard engine in Puerto Rico, backing back is easier for you. You just do it by turning the wheel or by pushing that tiller in various directions. The propeller will make side to side movements, at the same time pulling the boat to the direction desired. Be careful about your speed of moving the stern. You are pushing against the large body of water using the level surface of the transform.

    A combination of inboard and outboard pedals works in the same manner as an outboard. The distinction is that its outdrive unit is not to the visibility of the person steering the vessel. The maneuvering precision is achieved by observing the reactions of the yacht as opposed to watching its position change. Less risk to swamp is ensured by having the transom high up.

    After you have wrapped you finger around how the controls feel and their tightness, backing an inboard boat with two engines skillfully becomes easy. Both rudders are put in a straightforward position and left at it. To come back to a conventional line, both engines are put in reverse applying the same throttle force on each of them. To slowly back into the port, starboard engine throttle is increased while port side throttle is decreased. Turning quickly requires putting of an engine of port side at a neutral.

    It is more stressing when backing boats that have one engine. One need to practice more to become perfect in this. It stresses because it has only one propeller which contributes to a paddle wheel effect. Once the propeller fans inside the water, the stern is also pulled in the same direction. This becomes difficult and dangerous.

    So if your vessel has a one engine outboard, you need to study more and also practice a lot. You need to become used to backing when in tight spots. If you are not experienced, you will only change your plans to move ahead and this may inconvenience you and others.

    If you want to be expert in sternward movements, work in a calm day and also on days when there are not many boats in the water. Stop moving your boat and throw something that can float higher in water. Then practice bringing it back to that thing. Soon you will get comfortable with controlling your vessel and its reactions to different speeds, winds and waves.

    Finally, note that you should never do backing in shallow waters because the prop may end up striking the bottom of hard rocks. There could also be someone snorkeling in the waters. If you doubt or are bothered that there is someone down there, shut it down.
