Has anyone ever contemplated the installation of a outboard motor kick up bracket permanently installed for emergency propulsion in case of engine failure our related problems, fuel, batteries ect.  The boat next to me has one on his boat, "Cal 30", he has the same motor we have. It was on the boat when he bought it and decided to leave it on for emergencies,  I gotta admit the idea has merit,  use your dinghy motor when all else fails.

Bob : Good idea and I've thought about it for years.  I've never seen on on a C34, but suspect that a walk-thru transom is more adaptable than ours.
