I have an
ericson 26 with an
outboard in a well with a hydraulic
lift and
remote controls. The problem is that I can not turn the
motor so that it is very difficult to maneuver out of the slip where we have very little room. Pushing out and turning the
boat is difficult when there is much
wind or
current. One solution might be thrusters but I hate to add drag when sailing. I was thinking of maybe a stern thruster attached to the
outboard so that it would
lift out of the
water when we raise the outboard. Is this feasible, or does any one have other suggestions?
