"Cheap" implies a transom mounted motor. We may be able offer better advice if you post a picture of your boat's transom. Do you have a swim platform?

Your picture didn't come though, but here is one of my boat, which would be the same.

You could install a simple bracket on the starboard swim platform, an use a long shaft trolling motor and an extension on the control handle. It would still probably be clumsy to operate a nd stow, though.
