Yes on the motor well. One reason I "redesigned" was all the space back there. My set up is with Standard Teleflex steering. I fabed up an arm between the two motors. Yes, a lot of duel OBs have counter-rotating systems. Most duel inboards do. When I tested with 2 RH props, it took 3X longer to do a 360 to the left (or right) I forget. In the video you see, I'm using the left hand prop on the left motor. I have not gotten the thing balanced yet so...not quite there,
BTW, I have a Honda 2 as an aux, that drops into a well under a center rear seat. A sort of "trap door" through the bottom. Works good. The 2hp. Honda pushes about 5.5 mph.

Thanks for all the replies everyone.
In fact, my intention is to rig up a 24v 80lb minnkota that I have, at least as a first draft. I have a lot of time to think this over, we got four inches of snow last night so I suppose our season is officially over.
Glenn, how did you rig up your steering? I of course also have remote steering, a standard mechanical setup. And I'm curious about the challenges with turning left under the dual setup. Are dual ICE outboards set up with reversed props?
Also, Glenn, I like how compact your motorwell area is. I built the standard Redwing and I could use the extra foot of cockpit!
