Not to sure of the rate just pulled the boat up to the dock opened the wallet and closed my eyes. I was using about half a tank a day doing some long runs around 75 miles per day and trolling for salmon with the kicker. I didn't want to run the kicker off of the main tank but the guy who owned it before my did the fuel line set up the right way with a filter that has splitters on it. a flow meter is high on my list to install this fall should have solid info for you next spring.

We were the talk of town with that one ( RICH ALBERTA BOY'S )

.Yes and no we towed her up there with it yea. To bad it's not mine it belongs to Brett's brother in law who uses it to pull his car hualer and race cars. It's a 1800 mile round trip for us to go out there from home and we have to cross three mountian ranges on the way. My half ton is just not up to the job now I'm in the market for a deisle pick up.

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.

You tow 1800 miles round trip just to take the V out? I drive 145 miles round trip and it seems so damn long @ a 2 hour drive one way! That's some dedication there. Simply awesome and nice tow rig for sure.

Very dedicated!!!! I simply live to fish. I just go there fish for salmon and bottom fish for the frezzer and enjoy some of the last places were there are few pepole around. I live in central Alberta and fish in Lesser Slave lake it's a big lake 115Km long and 18 Km wide full of Walleye.

There is no distance I will not go to catch a fish
