There is a world of difference between close quarter maneuverability
with an I/O and a inboard. You really should be able to turn and/or
stern in that small runabout easily. You probably forgot how to use a
single I/O after using twins. You need to have someone review the
basics and find out how easy it is.



I have never had twins on anything, Backing down with a io is a no
problem at all. just like backing down with a outboard.

It really isn't a problem, especially if you know the secret. When I
purchased my first new boat the dealer told me the secret, and it is
very very easy.
