Hello, I have been thinking about how to make my docking easier... I have thought about big rare earth magnets imbedded in the dock, and some ferrous metal ballast.... Or a light gauge shotgun fixed with a grappling launcher.... Or hire an interior BC rancher who is hard on his luck to either come with me or just wait on the dock with his rodeo gear... A bow thruster on an Oday 22 seems overkill... My last boat was a frikin' beach bomber Enterprise dinghy... At this point though...I suppose just not hitting anything is a good start...getting used to stopping the bloody mass of inertia... I have always hated non instant gratification pastimes...or stuck with what I knew... Practise in the winter so I 'look good' when I have to... Let go my EGO... Best of... SH.
