I was reading some comments on people who have auxiliary small trolling

the singles had a lot more problems. It seems to me that a twin with more
parts would have more problems. I have seen a lot of really old singles, so
it would seem that they last a pretty long time. As long as it pushes the
boat it is mounted on at the proper speed, wouldn't a single be just as good
as a twin, and even better for a light boat?

I really wouldn't say there is a difference in reliability of a single
over a twin. However, the twin is usually quieter, and produces less
vibration.

Yup. You own a chainsaw? They are not smooth motors either.
