Learn how to use your spring line!!!!!
Set it up on a mid-ship cleat and leave it on the dock with a loop... when you come in to the dock, get the spring line on... as you come along the dock, (slowly) slip the loop over your cleat (if you have one mid ship... if the cleat is near your helm, it makes life much easier....
once thats on you can keep the boat tight to the dock with the engine idling ahead... if you tie stbd side to, get the spring line on, put the wheel to the right, stern comes in, put the stern line on, wheel amidship, or slight to the left, bow comes in... easy as 1.2.3.
