Kicker motor questions

BTW; with this system, you can still tilt the kicker up and out of the water with the linkage still connected. They also have quick couplings on each end to remove the link rod.

Had this system on the 24 Grady with a 200 Yamaha connected to a 9.9 Yamaha 4 stroke. I guess it would work with or without a bracket, but the hi-lo bracket put the back of the kicker even with the main motor. The steering bracket I had was all stainless and had a heim end swivel joint at each end so you could trim up the main motor and not put the linkage in a bind. My kicker was electric start and remote steering......too bad I never needed it. I've had 3 offshore boats with kickers, the only one I had to use was a 6 hp Evinrude with a plastic prop, that was not a good day but it covered better than 20 miles of open gulf in slightly over 5 hours. That's better than hoping for help in my book.

This article is installing a kicker on a Whaler. I think it is very informative and I am considering a similar installation on my V. Check it out.
