Default Boats and motorcycles

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

Being that you are slightly right leaning and have lost a significant amount
of weight and your thrusters don't work, your boat will crab to port as long
as you don't sneeze while facing to port or fart while facing to stbd.
