I also use prop walk to get into the slip. It takes practice but once you get the knack of it it's great. The only thing I would add to the posts above is that once I get lined up and start moving into the slip in reverse I'll then shift into neutral and let her coast in if the wind allows. That eliminates further prop walk when you don't want it. I think there was a great little article in Sail magazine about 6 to 8 months ago on how to do a 360 in tight quarters.
