I use an "Easy-In" mounting bracket. That way I can use a short shaft engine since the mount allows me to raise and lower the Honda. And yes, I have it linked to my JohnnyRude main engine so that I can stear from the front of the boat. The only problem is that 4 stroke engines are heavier... make sure that whichever way you decide to go that the bracket you get is rated to safely handle the weight & hp of your kicker.

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
