I've had my inboard for a lot of years and can put it just about any where (practical) that I want. The first time docking scared me but but once I got the hang of it I realized the boat is very predictable. Good luck with yours!

That's a maneuver I've done many times. Your twin-screw and outboard buddies look at you like you're crazy, but it works like a charm, especially in a stiff breeze.

God, I love inboards. You can put a sand shoe on it which will help with a soft grounding.

Conduit?

A strut extension with what looks like a shoe sole on the bottom. It grounds before bending a prop or shaft. Hopefully. Light duty.
