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.

yeah, sure. rudder right, tranny forward, throttle forward and what happens
.....???

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

Joxie, say it ain't so! With all your claimed sea experience you've
never had the boat turn in a different direction than where you had the
rudder pointed? Oh, that's right. You're just a hired hand with no
helm experience. If you had any time at the helm in poor conditions
you'd know just how foolish you're looking right about now.

schlackoff, when the wind and/or current was pushing me one way or the other I
knew it long before I put the boat in forward or reverse.

Maybe you didn't, but I did.
