We have a 1982 Catalina 38 with a Martek two blade  folding prop.  As most of
you we too experience the prop walk when  backing up to port.  Coming out of
out slip, which is rather beamy, I  have found the best way to attack it is;
idle the engine and put the rudder  a bit to starboard, lightly engage
reverse and then into neutral, this  starts the boat in reverse and without
power to the prop makes it easier to  steer, no prop walk.  I might have to
go this a couple of times very  lightly though.  Then, walla, we are out of
the slip without the  annoying prop walk.  Now backing into the slip is a
whole other  story.  LOL  We won't go there just now.

Best  regards,

Max Soto has just sent me 67 jpg files that I will  be mounting on our 
website as time permits (this will take a lot of  organizing).  There is 
"real gold" in these files and we all need to  thank Max for the 
significant contribution to our knowledge base!   Attached to this email 
for example are the design plans with dimensions  for the fuel tank. 

Thanks again Max!

Subject: Prop Walk

I have found that if I hold the starboard stern line after putting it in  
reverse, and as I start to move, give the line a slight tug. Then pulling it the  
line. I have know problem with prop walk. She slides right out of the  slip.
