A prop-walk issue

[Christian Sailing]

Vessel: 1974 Irwin Mark VI
LOA: 28.5
Summary: I have a Yamaha 9.9 mounted on the starboard side of the transom. When I “reverse”, the stern pulls severely to port. I have little to no control via the rudder. This is a real problem when docking and anchoring.
Any suggestions aside from losing the outboard and/or moving it?
Thanks,
Bryan

Just turn it the way you want to go. Backing with an OB is really easy!
