It comes as a shock to amateurs in boat operations to learn that the skills learned in automobile operation have minimal application in maneuvering a boat. They are usually inured to feeling the back end of their vehicle following diligently the front part tracks in cutting corners. In vessel operations, this is not the case. Actually the fulcrum point is way back on the third quadrant of the yacht. The stern in turn knocks repeatedly into the pier as the operator is turning the steering wheel towards the sea. This makes pulling from the dock a frustrating ordeal in skillful boat handling Puerto Rico.
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.
A vessel with a double engine is easier to back by those who are already used to its tightness and the controls. Position both rudders in straight ahead state, and let them stay there. If you want to back in a line, reverse both engines using same amount of strength. To move slowly to the port, raise the control of the starboard engine and release that facing the port. To turn better and quickly, position the engine at the port side neutrally.
To back an outboard with only one engine is difficult and calls for considerable practice in order to be good at doing it. This is because of the paddling wheel effect created by the lone propeller. Every time the blades of a propeller hit the waters, it attempts to jerk the vessel rear to the direction of prop turning.
So if you are that boat rider using one engine vessel, be keen and practice a lot. Sometimes you may need to back in some tight spot. If you lack the experience, you cannot move forward and this is a waste of time and inconvenience.
If you are looking for perfection in the stern forward movements, practice in a calm day with little boat traffic in the ocean or lake. Halt the movement and then throw a thing that floats well in water. Then do practice taking it back to the boat. Soon you will find yourself comfortable controlling vessel movements and also its reactions to forces of wind 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.
