Ok. Now that we all understand and agree on the mechanics of steering a
motorcycle, let's consider this situation.
Twin screw inboard.
No wind.
Little or no current.
Helm hard over to port.
Starboard engine at idle
Starboard transmission in "forward".
Port engine at idle
Port transmission in "reverse".
Which way will the boat move?
Eisboch
Depends on how long the boat is.
May not go anywhere considering engines are at idle
