Anyone ever tried mounting the motor slightly off-center?

[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 469637, member: 24227"] Our small jon boat is a 12' with an electric trolling motor on the back. I mount it about 6 inches right of center. I sit about 6" left of center and it makes it much easier to reach the tiller handle. I have a small 5hp gasoline kicker motor on my 17' boat that is mounted far from center. The main motor is mounted center. When I use the kicker, the boat steers just like any other boat. Being that far from center doesn't hurt anything. [/QUOTE]
