I had asked this question on another thread and nobody seemed to be sure what the answer was. If you mount a short shaft kicker motor slightly offset from the center it functions perfectly well as long as the cavitation plate is below the edge of the transom of a V bottom boat.
I simply mount my short shaft motors in this position:
This functions 100% and the boat still tracks very straight. It's perfect for me because I now have the capability to use any motor on the same boat. This weekend I let the 53 Scott Atwater out of the garage for a day... It's nice to just use the smaller motors when I don't feel like lugging the 35 out...
