|  Kicker bracket help 
			
			As you may have heard I now own a Nissan 8 HP for a kicker. I needed some recommendations on a brand of bracket. And I have a jack plate on the transom is the steering going to cause a problem with the install and running the kicker?

			It doesn't look like it would interfere.  Are you restricted on which side you can install the kicker?

			I would say go with whichever side it will work on.  I saw the pic...sweet kicker.

			I agree install it on the port side, Mine is on the starboard side and my lard a** weight does not help the balance if you know what I mean :) Here is the bracket I used from West Marine, the tilt up and down is pain for some some reason, Check Craigs I have seen some better quality all aluminium. I was in a rush and did not do my homework, it looks good does its job but I am not really please. Just my honest opinion .. Here is the link for it http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...5&classNum=784 Here is what mine looks like   |

			That looks very nice Nymack - mine is a pain to raise as well.  I have to keep it lubed and it is still difficult.
