Do you PD guys use the reverse when pulling up to boat launches or blinds much like you'd use an outboards reverse to slow you down or are y'all just coming in slow and doing the good ole bump stop? To me the PD reverse is there strictly for getting unstuck which don't get me wrong is very valuable at times.
You do operate it a little differently than an outboard. You learn to shut it down a little early and not coast as much into a blind or dock. I just make sure I stop first and then I'll bump the momentary button to ease in. No big deal. I had the same exact concerns as you before I got my PD, but it was a quick adjustment.
