Default push vs pull vis a vis rudders

Most times you go right. Sometimes you go left. If you've never gone
left when doing the above, you need some more experience.

The same thing can be said for the engine in forward. I.e.,
you can't predict which way the boat will turn when you turn the rudder
one way or another

maybe *you* can't predict which way the boat will turn but the rest of the
boating population can.


Uh huh. Well, you must not be very experienced if you've never had your
boat turn in the opposite direction from where you had the rudder. Stop
playing in the bathtub and get some real experience.
