It's crazy what batteries cost now but , I would never have just one . I have two connect to a switch one runs my main engine and all the accessories the other runs the kicker . If someone (me) leaves the lights on and the battery goes dead  i just flip the switch and run on the kicker batt .

Summer is to short to  miss a day of fishing for a dead batt  .

Good Luck !!

I would think if you set the motor on a block thick enough to get the maximum bit with the clamps and then use the holes on the engine bracket to bolt the motor to the transom you would be fine . Most kickers have holes on the brackets so you can drill into the transom and bolt them too. Also makes it harder for someone to steal your motor .

Hi !

I always pull my batteries charge them and store them in the basement for the winter. I have 4 seasons on them now .

Was wondering if they would go for a 5 th summer ? How long should they last ? ( dual starting batt )

Thanks JT

Hi !

I was wondering if anybody used a snubber on their downrigger weight . Scotty sells them for their riggers and seem popular out west. I use 12# balls and was curious how well they would hold up .

I'm not a big fan of brackets with moving parts especially if you trailer your boat . I have the Panther , works great .

Hi !

I installed 2 of these Attwoods . Water proof , plenty of light and easy to install . I'm sure there is a similar light in led if you really want leds .

I just started using a Okuma Convector 55 for 400'copper with a 6:1 retrieve and love it . I would highly recommend a reel with a high speed retrieve.Makes a big difference when you have to get all that line in.

Good Luck
