Single engine to Twins driving/docking advice?
Anybody have any hints or advice on what to do or not to do when driving a boat with twins v. single engine? I stepped up into my 33 from a 272 and would like to know if there are any things I should do or not do with twins. First ride went very well and I'm adapting to the larger boat quickly but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I havent driven one, but Im sure its the same as the first time you docked a single motor boat, go out on a calm non busy day, throw some fenders on the sides and practice. Im sure you already know you can put one motor in reverse and 1 in forward and sprin it around a lot easier than a boat with a single.

Keep the drives in "staight ahead"
position, and do you maneuvering with your
shifters, use the steering wheel as little as
possible.
