I position the rudder next to the motor so it doesn't hit.

Why do you need a second auxiliary engine when you have your sails?

Octaman,
I find that at night winds tend to die down. This starts around sunset. It's easy to get un-nerved when the one motor on your boat stops running and there's no wind.

I have heard that the "law of the sea" is complex when it comes to someone giving a tow. Salvage issues and possible liens.

eri3a,
It seems the word "complex" summarizes your explanation. Vague also seems to fit.

Here is a link on the subject. I'm sure there are many others:

I saw one of these models at WM yesterday. The performance numbers seem incredible, but maybe they're true. I've seen a few videos on Youtube(?). In an emergency this electric motor could save the bacon. I'm wondering which sea conditions would render this motor useless?
