Greg, I have a 3 blade 12/7 pitch prop. I have to do the same thing. I come into the marina make my last turn into my row and go to neutral...coast dropping off speed and turn for my slip at 2 kts...down to 1.5 to 1 kt coming into the slip...a shot of reverse, she kicks port and is there...on a good day
