My 30" shaft 6hp Tohatsu SailPro with an appropriate prop works fine. The powerhead is way out of the water and you can tiller steer easily that way. A bit rough sounding, though. You can only store it on one side due to the carb layout. It was cheap, at $1350 new. But if I used it lots, I would get a nicer kicker, probably a Yamaha. Hoping that it is nicer sounding and looking. You might be able to get away with a lighter engine, but I haven't tried.
I leave mine on the transom because the main engine is only ~370lb. More convenient than stowing a kicker outboard on a 20 footer.
