I replaced a Martec with a two blade fixed, and a folding two blade gori.
I like the Gori, it works great, have no issues stopping the boat. I read
that same article about the 3 blade gori and this did not support my own
experience with the two blade, which was superior to the martec and at
The Gori did poorly, though note it was a three blade folding.
Also Gori spec'd the wrong size of prop according to a note
at the end of the article.
It is a good article but I noted that most of the props stopped
from 6 kts in 8 - 10 seconds, the majority of them did 6.4 - 6.65 kts
ahead. For me
As Rob knows I back in all the time as my preferred method of docking. On the
frers 33 the shaft I centered and the prop is RH so there is some prop walk to
port in reverse but it is not pronounced. The biggest issues are visibility
and the lack of bite of the prop when shifting from forward

It is quite common to have an offset angled prop shaft. Most if not all
C 30 MK I's have angled prop shafts..other C models as well.
My understanding for it, rightly or wrongly, is first to allow for the
removal of the prop shaft without having to drop the rudder. Seems
I have wondered for a while why the 30-1 prop shaft is on the port side.
My Gori 2 blade folding has excellent bite in reverse and the prop walk
is to port. Having the shaft on port would give one the theory that the
few degrees of offset would add to pulling the stern to port.

I'm lucky to have gotten a very good slip. It's a goofy slip no one else
wanted, with the dock on an angle, the two rear piling are on an angle. There
is a pair of bow piling, 30 feet out from the nearest rear one and another pair
another 20 feet out. The previous boat was a 50 footer.
I agree with the port tie, and would like to add. Prevailing wind is
important. I had a slip that the wind blew me off, had major issues getting
tied up in any thing over 10 kts of breeze. If you are lucky enough to have a
slip with fingers on both sides then it doesn't matter. I
Try using a spring line when you back out. It takes all of the drama out of
leaving a slip.
I have a 30-foot length of floating line that I tie off to the starboard cleat
at the stern of the boat. When I’m ready to leave, I route it around a cleat on
the rear piling and then back to the
I would say that coming bow in, prop-walk is irrelevant but come out any
amount of walk will make things interesting to say the least.
I back in and have prop-walk to port in reverse. Because of this, I love
port side ties when filling/pumping tanks or coming into a tee pier for the
night.

There is a vacant slip beside us. Either the next one or the one over on road

I single hand a lot and prefer the slip on my port. I come in bow first so I
pull towards the slip when i go into reverse to stop the boat (as I'm returning
to the slip.) It is a slight hassle departing, but i just give the stern a bit
of a push off as I step aboard.
I also made sure that i
I second Dennis's advice on getting a slip with the dock downwind. A cross wind
will swamp prop walk effects. I docked for many years in a slip in a river that
was always cross current and usually cross winded. Pretty hairy getting in and
out sometimes.

Shouldn't make any difference coming in. Will have affect leaving the
slip. Are there any considerations when backing out into the fairway or
marina?
I'd look more at the prevailing wind and choose the side that is downwind
most of the time. We had a temporary slip in Pensacola with a port
Hi Rob,
If your prop walks to port as you apply reverse, you want to tie up
port to. That way you can use prop walk to your advantage. You can
approach the dock with a slight angle toward the dock, and with a small
burst of reverse to stop the boat, the stern will move to port and snug up
