speaking of the spares list vs the get home/twin engine...

I like the spares idea for a ocean voyaging single.. on the Nordhavn I spend a lot of time on she has a very comprehensive list of spares.. but it doesn't include a spare engine computer. During a particularly close and violent electrical storm I started to wonder how the new electronic controlled engines fair in a lightening hit... anybody have any idea?

The above mentioned N57 also has a get home.. it has seen some use between Alaska and New York.
