I have a 268DA here in the Uk that only has one engine and I am looking into the possibility of mounting a bracket on the swim platform to take a small outboard simply as a "get me home" in the event the main engine fails for whatever reason. I hope it never does but I would rather not find myself in the path of a Channel ferry with a dead engine.
Can anyone tell me whether this is feasible and if so what size outboard would be needed to move the boat? I have a 10hp 2 stroke Johnson but fear that would not have enough power.
Would appreciate thoughts from anyone who has considered this.
Thanks
