Default 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 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.
