That's like docking a cat. A little thrust here, and a little thrust there.......i2f

I could dock a shopping mall if I had two props. Well, maybe a mini mall.

Minnewaska will become famous soon enough
Using asymmetrical thrust with the two engines is pretty handy for maneuvering. However, the pucker factor may be a bit higher in the Otter. Scrap a dock on your boat and you rub it out. Barely ding a wing tip, prop or elevator and the plane will be grounded with potentially thousands in repairs.

In the harsh marine environment, something is always in need of repair. Margaritas fix everything.
