Default RE: pusher tug?

TRCX,
A 'flanking' rudder is a rudder (or two of them per prop) that go in front of the prop. They make huge difference if in reverse, and if 'worked' properly, can make a boat sort of go sideways, or spin in it's own length. I know what they do but be @#$'ed if I know how to describe it correctly. Where's 'Towboatjoe' when you need him?? - lol
