I docked in reverse multiple times, same as parking a car in reverse. Just need water flowing along the rudder (from motion, not prop wash), but otherwise it's a great way to turn into tight spaces. Gotta be careful about prop walk, which will dominate the controllability until some reverse speed is established. So until you've decelerated to 0 and re-accelerated in reverse, you don't have much control beyond prop walk.
