[Rhodes22-list] R22 Remote control linked outboard

[DCLewis1 at aol.com]

David,
 
You've hit a key point that concerns me also -  a backup/alternate OB  or 
trolling motor.  My concern is what happens if the outboard quits and  the wind 
isn't there to get us home.  Or if the wind will take us home (i.e  to the 
approach to the marina channel) how do we transit the channel to  our slip if our 
OB is out of action. I've got a paddle, but it's not going  to take us very 
far.
 
Like you, I've assessed the stern to see where a backup OB or electric  
trolling motor might be attached.   Between the OB, rudder, and swim  ladder the 
transom looks full, I don't know how another motor could be fit  in and 
operated.  I'd welcome any thoughts on this from anyone.   Right now my back up is 
Tows-R-Us.
