Comes down to hull shape. Even in reverse the whole hulls shape matters from bow to stern. Why you will hear Kingfisher putting bow thrusters on even their smaller model boats while other manufactures with deeper sharper V hulls don't need or recommend them. I too had a Kingfisher; a 2525 and had this same issue and it was the main reason I traded it in. Not just in marina's but tracking while trolling on a tack it got blown all over the place very very easily.
You'll have to get used to over thrusting in reverse to control the stern where you want it to go then let off the throttle quickly then get on it again quickly. Use your outboard as the rudder and thrust er to aim where you want to go.
Pics from the boat show showing how shallow and bathtub shaped the Kingfisher hulls are compared to North Rivers of the same size:
Yes Weldcraft definitely have an awesome hull design on them.
