Of course a connection rudder tiller to motor tiller will give huge maneuverability while keeping prop clear of rudder. Or just be very careful ol'willI have the same offset motor bracket (as have many Wayfarers) and have not encountered any trim problems. The only steering problem I've had was keeping the rudder out of the propeller when steering with the boat's tiller, but turning the motor a few degrees to starboard when manoeuvring at low speeds solved that without compromising directional control.
Some people with transom-hung, tilting rudders will lift the rudder with an uphaul and steer with the o/b in tight quarters.
