I am new to boating and am trying to add a small 6 hp outboard to my
fishing boat for trolling. Can I simply move my existing 30hp over 6
inches to make room on the transome ? or is it crutial that this main
motor be centered ?
Thanks

=================================
I've never thought of trying this, but I have had one of the engines
shut down on a twin screw boat and suddenly find myself going in a
circle. Then, fighting the wheel till I could get home and fix the
problem.
I use a swing up bracket on my 21 footer for a 4 HP outboard and it
workds great. Also, keeps the kicker out of the water while on plane.

Happy boating,
