Lowering the board will help the SC22 stay head to wind.
Been there, with a Suzuki 3.5. It was plenty.

Thanks to Don, Gary, Capt JG and Terry for helpful inputs.
We are now looking for something more than 7HP.
The centerboard and the rudder were both down all the way.
Thinking about the scenario later, I realised that if going forward
into wind was difficult because of cabin windage etc., then I could
still have motored in in reverse. OR I could have hoist a trysail on
the aft stay, but that approach would have added drag as well as
useful weathercocking.
