Twin Screw Walking

My understanding is outboard turning props are more efficient

I remember being taught that inboard turning props created more thrust, similar to Cappy’s observations here:

It has been my experience that inboard turning wheels have better thrust ahead but aren’t as good backing. They don’t twist as well. However they walk like crazy.

Outboard turning wheels back like crazy, and turn better going ahead. But they don’t walk at all. (Some times you can overpower the backing wheel and sort of crab sideways ahead though.)
