rx needs a priority check....#1.....motor,#2.....windshield.....#3 enclosure. Come to think of it don't you have #'s 1 & 2 in order? here's the deal, Skools posted the link [from e=bay]last july?august? If I recall the" buy it now" was 400.00. Called the guy, assured me it was in perfect cond, I told him I was on my way [Long Island to somewhere in Brick Township ,New Jersey]about 100 miles. I did have a "mobile canvas" guy put it on.....another 200.00 and I gave him a 50.00 tip. So in round #'s 650.00, installed. Haven't seen any on E-bay since.....not that I've been lookin lately ;D RX only needs the bimini down south

FYI- it dont get cold here like it does up north. but, we do hit the 30's and 20's here. never for more than 3 or 2 days in a row. but, thats the best time to catch winter reds close in. and flounder. with 80-95 percent humidity, thats a cold night on the water, imo! enclosures and heater would be the fershizzle my nizzle!

it seems fine. i just worry since it was submerged. talked to skoolz and others and decided to get a kicker just in case, so i can get home,lol. plus i been wanting one anyway. gonna save my pennies and repower with e-tec next year, if 175 holds together. winders on thier way! i get them mounted, couple other things i been procrastinating on, and i will put some hours on her. will know soon.

I'm feelin a kicker in my near future, I've got a 14.5' tinboat w/ a 35 rude, too much motor for the boat. What I'd like to do is get rid of the 35 and get a 15 hp use it on the tinboat and a kicker on the V

Whats the fuel hook up on a kicker ??, bring along a seperate tank, or connect it from your primary tank ?
Does it really matter what side you mount it on ?

thanks Kajun......TheTinMan posted the pics for me. Hammer,I've have ,what appears to be, 4 ss nuts/bolts in such a pattern that would suggest that the previous owner had a kicker on there at one time or another. It's on the port stern and I'm guessing the logic behind that is ,if your out solo, the kicker mounted opposite of the helm sorta evens out the weight. As far as fuel goes, you can of course have a separate 6 gallon tank on board or I've got a "diverter" atop my h20 separator that I can turn 90* and send gas through another line to the kicker
