That's the way i do it......throttles and trans with rudders midships.........I was new to twins when I got my F30 but have learned to get in and out pretty good......the challenge for me is when the wind is blowing the tide is running.....haven't broke anything yet............John

I dont need a springer very often at this point (once this year backing into my N/S slip with a 30kt. W wind. but for someone learning, I suppose it would help. I went to twins from a single, and to me it was like the sky opened up and angels were singing. I think I even had a tear in my eye the first time I backed into the slip. In my mind, you would have a hell of a time going from twins to a single. ( I took out a friends single this spring and docking it was like getting into a fist fight with one arm ripped off.) I suppose everyones happy with what there used to.
