WOW! The Axiom surpassed all expectations! It does exactly as you claim. The reversing ability is quite phenomenal - moving back in a straight line with minimal sideways thrust compared to the standard prop. I think it may be possible to steer in reverse, but I haven't acquired that skill yet - more practice needed. Coming in to a mooring and stopping is now so easy, without the frustration of being pushed away from the bank.
I went for a cruise on the Thames on Sunday and at full speed the tiller vibration is reduced by 80-90% - which makes for much more comfortable cruising. As you can tell ... I love it! I would recommend the Axiom to anyone.
