my trick for backing is to put it in gear with the rudder centered for a few seconds at low throttle, take it out of gear, do this a couple of times to get some reverse motion going without the prop turning. Then put it in gear and attempt to steer. I think the key is to never goose it in reverse, unless you are trying to walk the stern to port ( port on most boats anyway)
