Trimming the drives positive will help with the poor docking traits of inside rotation.

I share that with customers as often as I can.

Well, I got to test 24p b1s extensively spinning in with a lot of boat traffic in large lake and narrow intercoastal.

Running in normal uncongested waterway was good, boat felt light and bow rode high with little trim needed to get it there.
However, with constant boat wakes following large group and as well as passing many small boats at speed 6-62 ish felt too loose. Evrytime I approached some wakes I had to keep tabs down a little to settle the boat.
Sort of feels like your held high in the middle of boat and it will teeter each way easily with any kind of off angle wave. Unlike the stability that OUT gives.

So I changed mine back, swapped props and controls back today.

I tried it and it works like a charm!

Why did you wait 2 years to tell us that! Huge difference.

that's pretty funny... When I spoke to Brett about spinning IN, he mentioned that right off the bat. something about while reversing, thrust hits transom more spinning IN I think...

I noticed it immediately as I usually back off the trailer.. dramatic reduced thrust spinning IN vs OUT..

Otherwise didn't have issues spinning boat around, just have a use a lil more throttle for me and it was fairly easy... then again, I am just learning twins..
