Who's got a kicker and do you use it?

[willy]

Up till yesterday ::) I had a 9.9 on my boat. Same location Air.
I used it for slow trolling and as a main motor for fresh water lakes here with a 9,9 restriction. At max throttle would push my (I mean Kevins) V to exactly 10mph. I did not have the tie bar though I think that would be fine, I just steered with the main motor as a rudder and if in shallows sat on the stern and used the tiller. Worked great and the motor weighed about 70 lbs so it had no observable effects on the boat.
