[PUP] Ok, what is your thoughts about get home engines

[pmouligne at aol.com]

All I know is that on my Nordhavn46, I used my wing engine (Yanmar) 3 times in?2 years. Twice?because of starter problems on the main engine( it allowed me to get to a safe convenient harbou to switch to a spare starter), and ounce because of overheating alarm going on. In that case I shut off the main engine immediatly, started the wing to keep headway on autopilot, leasurly checked the temperatures and decided it was a false alarm. I ?was very happy to have a wing engine... and I do like the concept of only one main engine...

What are peoples thoughts on get home power??  I just did two weeks of boat 
shows and it was interesting hearing everything from Electric wings, to PTO off 
the genset, to twins, etc.  On the KK44 and it's canoe hull it gets a bit narrow 
back there, so I'm weighing options as to what would work.
