Do you really need a kicker? Modern FI outboards are pretty good on gas at trolling speeds, so maybe a subscription to a tow service would be a more economical option?


Thanks for the advice!

I have the kicker and bracket that I kept off my old boat, its more a matter of installing it without messing anything up. Anything to keep in mind when drilling through the foam as opposed to a wood/glass transom? Of course the old boat had a Mercruiser 7.4, cost about $20 an hour to troll! Maybe I'll give it a try with the outboard first.
