I think the command is: "Giddy-up"
In German: "Gitten Sie Uppische"
OK seriously. In Iron Coffins, Herbert Werner gives this series of commands to move his boat from dock:
"Let go bow and stern ropes. Both motors slow astern--rudder amidships."
The boat backs from the pier on electric motors. Then:
"Both stop. Both small ahead, port 20. New course two-eighty."
That's it.
