The Dodge doesn’t simply work as a ship however it appears to operate fairly effectively. With that being stated, the brakes that may have as soon as labored on the highway clearly aren’t practical on the water, which means the quickest solution to deliver it to a cease is to place it in reverse and begin spinning the rudders backward.
