Re: aux second kicker / mount ?
Garelick seems to be the one of choice - I did this exact Mod, in the exact place you mention for my Nissan 4HP.
www.defender.com for a source
I managed to mount it where it can be used as a kicker, but still come out of the water under sail, just...I also trailer the boat with the kicker attached by the way.
If you EM me I will send you some pix - just leaving on a weeks cruise so wont be able to post for a while

One of those has a lift of 11.75 inches, the other a lift of 15.5 inches. Probably would be best to have the max amount of vertical lift, to hoist an adequately mounted long shaft motor above the water line without tilting it so much that it would have to be spaced too far from the hull, allowing for clearance of the motor head.

Re: aux second kicker / mount ?
Take a look at our fall 2008 mod http://macgregorsailors.com/modt/index.php?view=1001 Seems to work well for us. BTW, we put a small transom extension on the dinghy to allow the long shaft better prop position. We had a companion mod about off season storage of kicker motors.
