I would think that the windward hull would be the worst place for an outboard on a harryproa.
Best place would be central (fore & aft) on the windward side of the leeward hull. Also the problem with an outboard motor in a well inside the boat is not just the fumes but also getting enough fresh air to the intake of the motor.
A friend of mine had twin outboards on a cat, both in wells. He had no end of trouble, even had ventilation fans pumping air into the wells, but eventually gave up on the idea and went to a single OUTBOARD motor, centrally and out in the fresh air. He had no further trouble.
