Does any one have experience and or recommendations on electric trolling motor mounts for a 2000 Outrage? I would like to install a 10/15 horse trolling motor that raises and lowers by push of a button.

Are you referring to a kicker motor mount with power tilt? I've heard of them but I've never seen one in action. Maybe someone else here has some insight they'll share.

Yes, a kicker motor mount. I stumbled across one on the net but they were priced at $1995. My back isn't that bad!

The Garelick powered brackets are rather pricey. The manual hydraulic is even pricier IMO considering what it is.
