Default Could have a new boat by Saturday

There are a few new tricks but with a ouboards that can be steered,
you can handle it almost like a single. One of the issues with twin
OBs is that the props are not usually far enough apart to generate the
steering torque necessary to turn the boat in its own length, as most
twin inboards can by putting one engine in forward and the other in
reverse.


Thanks, Wayne. I heard that you can compensate a little bit by increasing
the throttle with the reverse engine.

Yes, and you can also turn the engines (steering wheel) in the
direction you want to spin the boat.
