What is your use of the Torqueedo now ?
It seems that you only use it for docking, slow motorsailing etc. as it is a small configuration for your 5T boat.
How about two Torqueedos, one starboard, one port ?
Doubled power, and far better maneuverability when docking.
You just need to buy/find one more T2.0, more batteries, and make the new (retractable) brackets.
No hazzle with mounting an inboard.
Just an idea, as I am considering making two on my mono 4 tonner too.

I have a 28 foot, 5 ton, Tyler Twister (long keel) with a Torqeedo 2.0 mounted on a home made bracket on the (transom hung) rudder. Due to the steeply angled transom, there is no ideal way to mount an outboard, so I am contemplating going back to an inboard engine. What do you guys think of using the Torqeedo 2.0 as an inboard engine? Perhaps a belt drive to the propeller shaft? I'm sure this would void any warranty, but would it work? Would cooling be an issue? Any comments appreciated.
