Default Ship-MKT shipyard, we Build to your Oder!

My guess is that you leave the rudders in straight forward neutral and only
work the engines forward/reverse to maneuver.

Let's see if I am right.

That's normally true with twin engines but not always. Some of the
exceptions:

1. Springing the stern off or on to a dock.

2. Jump starting a 180 degree, in place turn.

3. Walking the boat sideways.

4. Backing up over a distance with some way on.
