I have a single engine I/O in my boat so it handles much like your single outboard. I'm way back in the marina and there is practically no current at all, which makes docking my boat stern to fairly easy, except when there is wind.
Having said this, most people with single outboards dock bow in since it's much easier to manuver going forward than it is in reverse. The other thing to consider is if you leave your outboard trimmed up and out of the water when not in use, your boat will probably be too far from the bulkhead to be able to get on and off . That is unless you are on a floating dock with finger peers between the boats in which case you can board from the side.
Lots a variables here so let us know if you are on a fixed or floating dock with finger peers or not.
