As mentioned, I interpreted it as the bigger motor must not be on the boat at all.
I assume it's so that it makes it simple/obvious to verify who is compliant and who is not. Otherwise, it might be a bunch of, "No officer, I haven't used the big motor. Just using the troller. I have no idea why there are 2 foot waves crashing onto the shore!"
I'm lucky in that my outboard is only 2 bolts. I think I'll buy a couple of big wingnuts for those bolts so I can just spin them on and off by hand.
Plus, it leaves me with a bit more space in my tiny boat! (Which means I should probably think about buying more stuff I don't need.)
