Dinghy Motor Storage on 262

[box-of-rain 0]

Does anyone use the engine room to CAREFULLY keep a small outboard (2 or 3 HP) for their dinghy. There is a spot it would fit nicely if I used tie downs?

 

I could drain fuel first if needed.

I took my 262cr to Catalina Island last week. Clamped a small dinghy to the fender/tank rack It worked out well, except for two instances of passengers hitting it with their shins.

Next trip, I plan to trade the outboard for a set of oars
