Smooth Operation for Beginners
Practice driving in less populated areas. Making wide and tight turns, stopping and backing up. Remember to keep plenty of room in front of you because other drivers may not be aware, and can slam on their brakes or turn in front of you at any given moment!
You don't want to show up at the dock and not know how to back up to it. A good trick is to practice at the dock early in the morning or during the week when there aren't many boaters. However, if you get in a bind during the "real thing" most other boaters will understand and be happy to help out.
