Hi all,
In case my main outboard motor decides to quit I would like to install a second outboard, this would be transom mounted sitting next to a transom mounted rudder.
Motor mount would preferable be on a sled to keep it close to the boat (pull start)
Obviously motor would be operated via a remote cable system, so far nothing particular...
I am told prop next to rudder would generate bad vibrations in the rudder/rudder mounts... Can anybody comment?
To counter this I guess It could be installed in such a way that, when lowered, the prop sits behind the rudder...
But then I would need to work out a way to pull start the motor as it would sit and it being far behind the boat would
Now since the prop is not sitting on front of the rudder to improve maneuverability I would like to interconnect the rudder to the outboard to steer the outboard...
Looking for experiences, hints, ideas etc...
Thanks,
Djeeke
