That's what we do as well, cut the throttle and let the boat spin on its own, then idle back to the rider.
No Power Turns!!!
Now if it's a weekend with a tuber heading towards my rider, I'll gladly power back to my rider with a 6350lb+ roller headed the other boats direction.
But then again, I don't head out much on the weekends. Another month, and we'll have the lakes to ourselves again!
