So, in Boutiques example, empty scheduled legs are Part 135, but they are not carrying passengers, so doesn't matter what your GOM says, SIC is never required and SIC cannot log that time, unless SIC is PF and then he can log PIC time as sole manipulator of controls.
How can you prove when you were the sole manipulator of controls if you didn't start the engine, were listed as SIC on a flight log and flew from the right seat in a single pilot airplane under 135? PF or not, I would log SIC as per the flight log. Many pilots have logged SIC flying right seat in Caravans and PC-12s with no problems.
