Hi guys first season with the new boat. 06 280 with alphas, was backing into slip yesterday and was basically scalded for using my wheel and not my motors. Past boats were all single screw. Just wondering how everyone else does it.

Most people that scold you have experience with twin engine inboards. Twin I/O's are a completely different animal and generally require use of the steering wheel.
Like Frank says, whatever works for you is good. Now, something you might want to try for fun, is backing it in with one shut down - the one that runs your power steering pump. Had that happen to me the 2nd or 3rd time I had my DA300 out. The IAC failed that engine for me. Not overly difficult, but nice to know how the boat - and you - react.
