Power and range and other
electric propulsion issues aside...
This should handle very similar a
Gemini where the rudders and outboard/outdrive steer together. It does take a little getting used to but will give you nearly as much control as twin engines once you figure it out.
The trick to remember is when you are making way thru the
water, the rudders control the turn. If you are moving slow the directional prop thrust controls the turn.
- Ie: if you are going forward at 4kts and put the
rudder hard to port, you will start turning to port. If you put the
motor in reverse, you will continue to turn hard to port until you slow enough that the prop thrust is greater than the
steering effect of the
rudder at which point the rotation of the
boat will reverse even though the
helm is left untouched. If you want to continue to rotate the
boat in the same direction, you have to watch and when the rotation of the boat stops (rudder turning force and prop thrust turning force are balanced), you quickly put the
helm hard over the opposite way.
Once you are used to it, it becomes natural but at first I would forget and while trying to make a tight turn to the right, I would start turning right only to turn back to the left by cranking the helm over too soon.
