Reference:
Countering prop walk when going astern
To counter propeller walk when going astern:
Give a "flick of the bow about 30º to starboard just as the boat is put into neutral. We have allowed for the predicted prop walk that we will get in this boat as we first go astern, so this time the boat has not lost any space to leeward before she gets decent steerage astern and we reverse safely back down the centre of the channel the way we came in." Go to Section 4 (prop Walk) of the link.
