Great for going one way. When that ramp is doing 15 to 20 knots into oncoming waves it will create the perfect arrangement for scooping vast quantities of water onto the deck. It is great to see those unfamiliar with this particularly habit duck for cover when the fountain opens up for their first experience.

Well yes,
after some research I can see it is not an uncommon problem. It seems to be best approached with some form of retractable mount that goes somewhat deeper than for monohull boats. Among the solutions there is a hinged sled with the motor attached on the opposite end to the hinge via a conventional mount. Not unlike a somewhat slimmer HP dingy ramp with an outboard on the end, but facing the other way and close to the WW hull.
That would allow the engine to be tilted out of the water as we expect with outboard installations, and in keeping with bridgedeck clearance the ramp articulated back up under the deck.
some inevitable stuff:
