I thought I would start on thread on this subject as many people are using kicker motors along with newer main motors that weigh more then their older counter parts.
Here is a partial list of the new choices we have.
I will let others here post what they have.
Honda is more weight then I would want on a transom.
Others with Mercury can fill in their info.
My prior 1986 Outrage 18' had twin Evinrude 70hp. I wouldn't want much more weight then this on the transom.
1986 Evinrude 70hp = 248 pounds
Total = 496 pounds
