I have a 50HP engine on my 26M. The lake near my home will not allow an engine over 10HP. Has anyone figured out how to add a small outboard (2HP)to the 26 without removing the main outboard? It is allowable to just lift the prop of the 50 out of the water and use the smaller engine. I just have not figured out how to add that smaller engine. Any ideas?

(however, your results may vary... who's going to enfore this???) fwiw, an electric trolling motor may fit next to the big ob....

If all else fails
If all else fails, I have a Johnson 9.9 on my 26X that I would be willing to trade (reluctantly of course).
Happy sailing
