i had a 7.5 honda kicker on a 19 ft mako. it really didn't matter, because the water will be at the level that it is when the boat is at rest. the kicker will not push the boat fast enough to displace any water. i would put it where it rides the best and kout of the way.

thanks phatd, I've got it on the port side of the primary motor about center of the motor cut out and corner of the boat, or in other words, on the flat spot of the second step/chine in the hull. I just don't want to drill a bunch of holes in my transom and come to find those holes not being in the right place.....know what I'm sayin'.....

yep. I had TheTinMan do a search for me today on it and no sh!t, new lists for 925.00....the lighter one [for 80lbs. or less] is around 750.00. I did see two more on some other fishing/boating sight, they were older and definitely looked "used"....still asking around 250-300. As far as my install goes....nothing major, but it's the first step. I took out four SS bolts from [ I am assuming] previous kicker mount, and ran a 3/8" drill bit in there to oversize it slightly and get into some newer wood. I injected some waterproof Gorilla glue into the holes and had 3/8" glue soaked oak dowels at the ready. Tapped em in nice and snug, I'll do the marine tex tomorrow....then I get to drill into the transom again for the new bracket.

Nothing like drilling a hole or holes in a perfectly good boat!
I needed a 2" hole for the transducer what a scary thing that is when you look up from the ground! Thank god no leaks! But you should have seen CB and I when we were done with a hole tube of black 5200!!! I think I still have some on me today!!
