Thanks for the tip. I'll contact Tanner.
The best fishing spots in my area are within sight of Niagara Falls. You can see the mist rising. That is no place for a motor failure. About 45 years ago I had a brand new OB fail due to a factory defect. The next day I installed a kicker. Every boat since then has had one. In subsequent years the kicker has brought me home twice. Both times it was on a brand new boat. Warranty means nothing if you're adrift.
Yes we have 2 anchors aboard. Yes we have a SeaTow membership. Yes we have a VHF. For me a Kicker is not an option. Just my opinion.
