I've done a Rachel Reeves* and said that we'd mount both motors forward-facing, then done a U-turn and mounted them as I did earlier.
But why... I ask for you?
(a) there's more room here to get an Allen key in there to replace propellers
(b) it look's better
(c) it provides for a firmer basis upon which to set the boat upright for storage
(d) just one cross-bar impedes the propellers' efflux and not two
(e) should we test a rudder, it can replace that second motor on the rear spar
Look though at how I fitted that second cross-bar: by laying the boat inverted on a few chocks (so that the first motor clears the floor) and setting the second motor in place before driving screws in from either side.
Incidentally I fitted the rear-most motor-mount with a pair of screws at either end, so as to stop it twisting: should it do so propellers will clash and we'll end in tears.
Rachel Reeves: a chancellor unable to reduce welfare or cut taxes as promised.
