I do agree if your not sure how to get around I would deft recommend a safety class... If you not comfortable in your boat take it slow on days when the wind is at a minimal...no matter how slow you pull in a dock. Let the boat make its way to the dock don't try to hit the dock, you wanna pull up inches from the dock a ill bit of revese turn lower unit towards the dock will stop on a dime where you want it.....
fYI. More wind cross wind gotta use more gas to compensate for thecrosswind
Vbring it in hot and use th rvrse to stop it at the dock
