Thought about that Harry but it would not solve the problem of not
having control unless the motor is running.
With inboard power you can have your cake and eat it too. I've seen
a lot of older inboard utility skiffs with outboard rudders and a
tiller at the stern, very convenient for backing into tight places or
trolling.

The bigger I/Os like the Mercruiser Bravo 3 have enough fore and aft
surface area to create a significant rudder effect.

You get some rudder effect from any outboard. We use it when we are
"sailing" in the pontoon (with the polytarp kite sail)

Now that would be a boating photo worth seeing...
