Single screw .... With full left rudder, kick ahead, bow will swing to
port .... due mainly to rudder and some prop walk (right hand prop).
With rudder hard left, kick astern, stern will swing to port .... all
prop walk, has nothing to due with rudder placement(rudder could be hard
left or hard right, initial affect will be the same).

true.

Note that the effect is in the same direction as the burst
of ahead; ie, full left rudder yaws the vessel to the left
in either fwd or reverse (no 'suction' effect). And note
that I was talking about props sheltered from prop walk -
either through their depth, the use of shields or a lateral
offset.
