Also Fred,
I'd like to see a single engine boat walked sideways (parked) without using
a
bow thruster by turning rudders and splitting engines forward and reverse.
I've used this feature beyond count when maneuvering sidewise to or from a
dock or lock wall against the wind (of course wind has to be within reason
not
a gale).

That is what spring lines are for. A single will "walk" very nicely
if you know how to "spring it". :-)
