Depending of the hull form it is recommended to use both Aquamasters for steering. If both propellers turn to same direction this might cause some yaw at high speeds. Turn port side Itis more efficient to use both Aquamasters to steer. It's recommended to use both Aquamasters to steer, but the inside Aquamaster® should be turned more to avoid the propeller wash to hit the skeg. Turn starboard Itis more efficient to use both Aquamasters to steer. I's recommended to use both Aquamasters to steer, but the inside Aquamaster® should be turned more to avoid the propeller wash to hit the skeg.
