[C38] performance

[Ken]

I recently bought a '83 Catalina and I am in the process of getting to know the boat. It has the standard 21 hp Universal and two blade prop. My big problem is when I am trying to back out of my slip the stern moves hard to the port no mater which way I turn the wheel. My slip is pretty tight length and width wise.
Is there some way I can get more power and control without getting a bigger engine? What's the best way to turn the helm when I back up in a tight area to keep the stern swinging to the left?
