Outboard engine mount
I'm very satisfied with my outboard engine mount.
I thought it will be difficult to steer with engine mounted on the side but it is not.
After some angle adjusting while on the way "Motoko" sailed with straight rudder. Good!
And finally I have engine controls at my hand, not 2,5 meters behind me.
Additional benefit is the ability to rotate the engine so that it can thrust perpendicular to the boat axis. It becomes a thruster, enabling tight manoeuvres in narrow places.
After removing the engine while under sails there is no mark on the deck saying that she has outboard at all!
Her lines are hence undisturbed by admittedly ugly thing as engine is.
