Good Intent
I recently purchased a 1982 C38 shoal. The boat runs and steers excellent in forward gear. In reverse, the "proprwalk" is so overwhelming that it is impossible to back to starboard. I literally have to do a 180 in the quay in order to get out of the marina. It was suggested that I give her a short burst and then steer to starboard while in neutral, but the initial deflection to port is so great it cannot be overcome. I purchased the boat on the hard with a 3-blade prop. Later, I found an older 2-blade prop in a locker. Is the three blade prop the problem? Can anyone suggest a solution?
