Hi Guy,
I added a kicker to my v-20 cuddy about 2 weeks ago, had it out April 2nd,(COLD) and the combo preformed great. The bracket is from Panther Marine Products, model #55-0020 in Stainless Steel (E-bay, $75.00) and the kicker is a low hour Mercury 7.5 hp. For trolling with a kicker, you really don't need much hp. I wouldn't go much over 10 hp., and the bracket I mentioned above, is rated for 20 hp 2 cycle, it had no 4 stroke rating listed, Hope this helps. Fitz
