We always "back in", the boat ties up better.

On the Schiada I made up a line that is approx 25' long with a snap hook in the middle. I hook this to the bow eye and stretch it equally between the cleats on both sides of a slip (assuming a single slip) and then single lines on each side at the rear cleats of the boat and dock. This method keep the boat completely "Sprung" and even though I still put out bumpers the seldom if ever touch the dock.
With the pontoon I just tie off the 4 cleats and hang the bumpers.....but then again it's only a pontoon so who really cares.......that's the beauty of driving one of those sleds

I tie off the exact same way as you do, in the Schiada. Originally Posted by Paul65K

Hey... You're in my spot. LOL
I back in,, two reasons, it seems to tie up better, and if some one is going to hit the boat, I'd rather them hit the bow, then run into and over the drive.
