How To Dock a Boat the Best Way - CLOSE QUARTERS | Gale Force Twins
Ойын-сауық
Learn to dock a boat in tight spaces! In this video we explain how to dock a boat in close quarters using just your engines to pivot yourself 180 degrees and turn on a dime - this is how to spin your boat with two motors! We also show an alternative method to boat docking if you can't quite make the turn and need to use your wheel.

Great video, great explanations. Natural teachers. Women are so much smarter than we are!! Very few videos have nothing to pick at, this is one if those. Got my sub.

I would give them two thumbs up even if they crash the boat!!
I think I'll make it mandatory that my fishing buddies, (brothers) watch this video, they need all the help they can get lol
new to your channel. we are almost neighbor's we have a house on Ramrod key . your videos help get my wife to understand how to and the importance of driving boat in this episode, because being her husband she is not going to listen to me (ha ha ). we also enjoy how exciting you both get when catching fish . Tight Lines ladies
Hey @yahama sponsor the Gale Force Twins! The 250's need some love! Docking like a boss! Next business Valet parking supercars in Miami! o,o
Phenomenal job on turning and docking that boat. A 35' OAL boat is a lot more than most people can handle...Especially oscillating it 180º in a 40' wide canal without so much as a bump or scratch...And NEVER touched the wheel. Yall make it look easy. 👍🏻

A pleasure to watch. Beautifully articulated. I think the thing I also noticed as apposed to other lady boaters/fishers is that you are nicely dressed and not posers. Thank you for sharing. From the bottom of Australia.
Ladies I was in the Navy for over 20 years and am nicknamed Boats, my kids, brother and even my wife call me Boats to this day. Having said that I commend you on your seamanship, great job! Ive seen so many people use too much motor, too fast of an approach and stall, and have to break out the fiberglass gear to make a repair. Tight lines!

Great content. Too many fishing channels focus just on the fishing aspect neglecting the boating component. Ive had 6 boats and im still learning new skills so i applaud your broad focus on the sport! Nice job ladies.!👏👏
Guys my wife and I watch your videos all the time. I’m new to the boating world and I have learned a lot from your material. Keep on going and muchas gracias
An easy way to remember which way each motor will push the boat in reverse is. Put one hand on each throttle, stick out your thumbs, that's the way each motor will push the boat in reverse. Opposite for forward. That's provided the port side motor is counter rotating, which most are. Learn Port vs Starboard and Bow vs Stern. That adds an extra level of professionalism to the overall video and makes it easier to explain which throttle you have in which position. Otherwise Bravo! Very impressive ladies! Whoever taught you two how to handle a boat deserves a cold one he did a good job.
Wow... This is fantastic. No hype just good hard facts and method. I've had many boats in my younger years and I am really impressed with both of you ladies. Great demonstration of patience and discipline. Keep it coming very informative and entertaining. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I am SO impressed with you guys. I usually don't comment on YT boat tip videos because usually the tips are not the best practices. You have such a deft touch, you are so in tune with your boat. These are the things I've been teaching my now 11 year old daughter. Take your time, it's not a race, plan your moves, it's not going to react immediately like a car. Read the wind and current. I'm curious, how long have you been boating and how did you learn? Loved this, I'm going to subscribe to this channel.

That was awsome i wanna learn how to do that on a windy day😁
So great, would love to see these docking maneuvers with a single if you ever get the chance:-) Keep it up. I've docked much larger twin diesels and twins are so nice, the singles are so much more difficult... for me.
I learn so much from you two. So clear and not making any assumptions that I know anything about boating as I don't know anything about boating but now I feel I can park a boat.
Excellent job maneuvering and explaining young ladies! I love those noisy Yamaha controls.
These two Ladies understand energy management! Thus they know how to position the hull where they want it with the prevailing conditions! I would love to teach both how to fly an airplane, they would make very good pilots. These two Ladies are very sharp! Who ever mentored them needs to be congratulated! 😁🛫 😁🛫
With a single sterndrive, I was always taught to use the method you describe at the end. Nose in, and pull the stern into the dock with reverse. You guys are amazing at what you do! Keep up the good work
you Captains are pretty damn good !!!
Great job! I know MAYBE 2-3 people who can control their boat like that with just the twin engines, and probably zero people who could navigate that waterway without cracking the hull.

This is great. More docking lessons would be terrific. I boat in a high current river in northern Mass and I was going to name the boat "Can't dock it"
So refreshing to see two intelligent, attractive young ladies making videos with their clothes on versus not so bright, not so attractive young ladies wearing barely a bikini in an effort to attract hits. Well done! Can't say I'm as hard on my engines as you were here but you definitely showed folks how to dock safely and that's all that matters. Definitely got my subscription...
This is some extreme docking, can't imagine do this by 1 person. Great job!
Great job ladies I have twin 200 Yamahas on a new center console you taught me how to use 2 engines to dock.im new at this .thanks again Rob a.
My grandmother had an expression 'keep your tongue straight in your mouth' and parking your big boat in that narrow canal is certainly one of those situations!
Thank you ladies! Well shot and perfectly executed. I tend to over correct with the wheel. I look forward to trying it your way.
i doubt i'll ever own a boat like this, but i watched anyway for some reason.

Nice video and great docking skills! Don't forget your spring line! And I never flushed out the motor until I haul it out for the season! I've had Evinrude's, Merc's, Suzuki's and now Honda since 1970! These engines are made to handle salt water and as soon as you turn them on the salt water dissolves the dried salts in them. I never had an issue in any of them due to salt deposits. Best Regards, Jay

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I have tried to get my 26 ft boat with twin 225 Yamaha's lined up with my boat lift (usually by myself) and I didn't really understand about the better control while backing.This will also come in handy when docking at a restaurant or even getting gas at a crowded marina. I need to spend more time practicing and definitely will watch this video over and over. When the wind or current happens, my tendency is to panic and overcompensate but now I know not to be heavy on the forward throttle. I agree with thegrtwhthunter that it is nice to see two beautiful young ladies educate rather than be exploited in string bikinis!

Excellent video, definitely learned a ton since my dual engine experience is in the single digit hour range. Would like to point out that the reason that the forward running engine has more influence at lower RPM's is because of the propeller design. The propellers are designed to push water most efficiently going forward through how the water flow is introduced to the blades, the pitch, and the slope and even a small amount of flair at the blade edge. Turned in reverse fashion they do still move water but with nowhere near as much efficiency and thrust as forward. So that's why you need more RPM in reverse to get equal amounts of thrust as the forward running prop. Neat video idea if nobody has done it: Source a sort of junky boat and motor combo (because it just might cavitate and blow up or even break the blades off), mill the propeller down so that it fits on backwards, compare forward performance with it on correctly with reverse as well as driving forward and reverse. Should be awful but entertaining. :-)
Well done girls! Good job! It was a pleasure to watch you!
Perfect. You did a fantastic job. So many times, I see people rushing to jump off the boat and grabs things they shouldn't. Just let the captain do the docking the correct way, and so many mistakes, injuries and bumps will be avoided. Great job!
Great video girls. Keep up the teaching moments for all to see.
Once you get over the intimidation of it all its really easy peasy lemon squeezy....calm cool collected always

When I first saw a show of yours I became addicted to the shows immediately, The way you explain everything especially in this film is so educational. I love the part when you said "stop the boat does not mean put it in neutral it means put it in reverse! " than you showed how the boat was completely stopped.
