Docking: How to Come Alongside a Dock in a Twin Engine Boat in 3 Easy Steps | BoatUS

If you have a boat with an engine, you’re going to need to dock your boat at a fuel dock at some point. BoatUS Magazine’s Lenny Rudow shows you an easy, stress-free way to pull your twin-engine boat alongside a fuel dock in three easy steps. First, check the wind and current. Second, approach slowly, and third, use your throttles, not your wheel, to come alongside the pier. With a little practice, you can increase your confidence with this simple but critical maneuver.
