I have a twin, however I have had minor shut downs that would have been very uncomfortable with a single.
Total electrical shut down on a gas engine, Mercurser, circut breaker failure.
Lower circulating hose rupture, Detroit
Governor spring fracture and break, Detroit
High pressure injector line fracture spraying fuel forcing shut down, Cummins
Water pump impeller failure, freshly replaced new impeller that had been in storage for several years. Detroit
All of these occurred in remote locations in rough conditions that would have made life miserable if I couldn't have maintained some steerage.
