Why do you say that? Why did you decline to respond
to my post about the affects of rudder vs. prop walk
in the situation I described? Was it because you failed
to understand what was said?

The discussion in question, was way over Neal's head and/or experience.

This post, and the one, from you, which brought about my response, highlights
the reason for my response.
They were not talking about single screw "prop walk". They were talking about
making, or the possibilities of making, a twin screw boat "walk" sideways.
Your post was a dissertation on a basic "motorboat" maneuver, with a fixed
pitch, right hand propellor. (possible exceptions noted)
The fact you weren't aware of this and made your post, showed that the topic
was "over your head and/or beyond your experience".

Duh! Two fixed props spinning in the same direction
as on Jeff's catamaran will act the same was as one
fixed prop on a monohull.

You sure you're a licensed captain. You just aren't
too bright.

Snif? Snif? Smell the beginnings of an electrical overload, as Neal frantically
searches the web, looking for information on twin screw "walking"

Shen

Neal really doesn't understand, even though I explained it fully. He'll figure it out and
come up with a creative way to cover his ignorance!

BTW, I get virtually no prop walk - is that because the shaft is horizontal, the blades
are flat, the keel is long, or a combination of all three?

None of the three SHOULD eliminate "prop walk", singly or in combination ....
G you don't have Kort nozzles, do you?
To be sure I'm thinking correctly, both your props are right hand, folding? (I
have no experience with folding, so I don't know if this may be a factor).

When backing, your boat, should want to back to port, as Neal said, once you
lose steerageway .... does it? (assuming two right hand props ... I can't
remember if you said right or left).
