That bothered me too in the beginning. Heck I ran a kicker in Alberta just to get me home if the big girl broke down. Twins here are very uncommon and my transom wasn’t built for twins so it’s the single Suzi for me.

Given the option I would have two identical outboards on seperate fuel tanks and individual battery banks. This works though, I take care of the motor and so far it takes care of me. I also have plenty of tools and spares on board, my radio and EPIRB, anchors and a drogue. The coastguard is very good here too and worst case scenario they’ll come get me.
