I searched...only found questions with no answers.
I need to mount a kicker. I have a Merc9.9 I'd like to mount. Main is a 140 Tohatsu. Boat, 222FF.
Originally I thought about the brackets that raise and lower to get it out of the way. Then looking at the boat my trim tabs look to be in the way where I would mount it.
Now thinking of mounting direct on the transom, or putting a block on the transom and mounting to that.
Here is a pic:
Do you think the motor would drag in a following or quarter sea if I mounted direct to the transom? Ever seen a raising bracket mounted close to the main?
Or, would the raising bracket extend out enough to clear the trim tabs?
Never done this before and would prefer to only drill holes once if you know what I mean.
