I am king of cheap too, but think about this. You main engine has problems and that kicker is what is gonna keep you off the rocks or get you out of the way of an barge/ship. Do you really want to depend on something brittle that may or may not have some life left . . . when you need it or would you rather tell your family and friends to put on flippers and swim for it :) If you do your boating in lakes your probable fine, but just something to consider. You really want the engine to work like a swiss watch when you need to depend on it.
