I have observed the rudder kick in reverse, but only with the
boat in
motion. Does yours do this when tied to the dock?

It did in two previous vessels I've skippered, both of which had
big props a small distance from big rudders. Both also had
tillers, so force feedback was not hidden by gearing. It wasn't
big, but was apparent.
