Thinking about the shift from twins to single power, I have to keep reminding myself how many boats there are, just on our coast alone, which have run with one engine forever.
I also think of how many times I have lost use of an engine; twice. Once when my port I/O went through 2 props in one weekend and the other when a valve decided to take on a piston.
In both cases I had the other engine. Based on hours or miles those are pretty low occurrences which should be a comfort.
How many of you have needed a tow and why?
