Any time I'll do that for you all any day I might have to trade someone a fishing trip one day

Thanks man. Another question for you - when trolling with the kicker do you use the big motor as a rudder for steering? The times I've used my kicker that is what I've done. Works pretty good if you don't need to do a tight turn, in which case I'll walk back there and grab the tiller handle. My little motor needs a seal in the propshaft so I haven't used it since fall.

No need for that We use a quick connect air chuck fitting ( female ) on both moters and a brace with ( male ) connectors that have a ball jointo on each end. Just got up to work when I get home in a few weeks I will take a pic for you. It works great start the kicker and steer from the Capt chair stay dry up here or out of the sun down there. I made the motor adapters my self and bought the bar.

These pics are AWESOME! I love the pic of the bald eagle. I really have to get my V21 out of the Raritan Bay and trailer it somewhere nice.

Send pics when you do love your boat!

I'll be looking for the steering contraption pictures. That sounds awesome! I'd love to be able to steer the kidker from the helm. Very sweet.
