A motor craft. Unless it is moving under full sale power without motor assist it is not a sailboat at that point in time.

A sail boat with an outboard motor is still a sailboat UNTIL the motor is turned on then it becomes a powerboat. A sailboat with it's sails up and the engine running is deemed to be a motor-sailer.
An outboard motor made specifically for sailing has 3 major differences. First, the lower section is built to a much stronger standard, and typically can be seen because it will be much wider as compared to a powerboat outboard. The reason for this is that a sailboat outboard is built to not "kick up" so it must be able to withstand minor strikes without damage. The second reason, it has no "kick up" - this is because a sailboat motor has to be able to power fully in both forward and reverse, and powering in reverse with a powerboat outboard will result in the motor lifiting the propeller up and out of the water becuase it is allowed to kick-up. Third, the sailboat outboard will allow the motor to go up in speed just as much in reverse as in forward, while in reverse on some powerboat outboards are limited, to prevent kick-up. So, the lack of kick-up is the key difference in features, with the other changes necessary because of that.
It depends how it is configured and what vessel it is attached to.
No, a yacht and a sailboat are not necessarily the same. The sailboat is, as its name implies, a watercraft that moves under wind power. The yacht, on the other hand, could be a sailboat, but it does not have to be. The yacht is a larger vessel (usually over 30 feet in length) used for recreation, and the yacht can be (and usually is) classified as either a sailing vessel or a motor craft.
Raise the motor, get out and push the boat to deeper water.
At the back of the boat. The transom is reinforced to accommodate the boat motor.
NO motor is necessary on a sailboat.
the tip of the bow in a straight line to the stern of the vessel
Effort Force Additionally: Wind propelling a sailboat, a car rolling down a hill due to gravity, or a mother pushing a stroller. But not a sailboat under it's own motor power, a car using it's engine only, or a self propelled stroller.
If you are using NGK plugs, the plug model is BP6HS and the gap is 0.035. I had to look it up also for my 6HP Suzuki outboard on my sailboat.
