That is pretty cool especially the side ways part.  I know and have used the twin inboards to help in turning in the boats own length but being able to go sideways is a big help especially when parallel docking.

With practice you can make a twin screw inboard walk sideways too. I have done it many a time when I was in the CG running the boats. One engine forward, one reverse and turn the wheel in the direction of the engine that is in forward, if I remember correctly. It's been wayyyyyy to long since I have done it.
