Can these still be ordered from BW or aftermarket? Thanks in advance! What a great site..I've learned alot, and so much more to learn! Also , What is the shaft length required for a 2008 8 hp Honda kicker to be used on my Outrage 18? I have the opportunity to purchase a low hour one off a sailboat. I'm wondering if it will be too long? I can call tomorrow for more info. Thanks , John

Their info is in our Web-less Vendors link on the left sidebar. http://www.whalercentral.com/viewpage.php?page_id=33 I also have a set of fitting for sale if you want to make your own. http://www.whalercentral.com/forum/vi...d_id=13196 Kicker Motor installation can be found in our Article section under "Outboard Motors and Rigging"... http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...icle_id=48 20 inch long shaft kicker motor bolted directly on the transom for the most solid mounting is the recommend way....

I plan to mount it on my teak plate on the bow pulpit. Hopefully this will keep my danforth forward and stowed . I spent alot of time after purchasing the Outrage,last fall, redoing the hauling gouges from PO. I did the teak over with Sikkens.. I built a Lindal cedar home from Kent, WA, so I was very familar with their product. I'll need a new throttle cable in the spring. Oh, the marina is asking $1100.00 for the Honda, low hours, is that a good price? Also , I have a large deep cell marine battery, which I was going to put under the console, and use as an isolated total loss system for my fishfinder(new) and stereo. I can use a deep cell charger to maintain it. Our summers are short here in northern NY, so if we use the boat 15-20 times a season ,we're lucky. Do you think it's a good idea? no interference from other electronics? Thanks, John
