    Kicker controls

    in This Old Boat

    Posted

    I have my kicker tied to my main engine, it was already on a bracket, I use a bungee cord to hold the kicker control arm up  so it will not get caught when steering,I just use the throttle on the kicker, not an electronic one. It is very easy to fine tune, and once I get on a new course, I only make one or 2 adjustments. I DID add a raymarine auto pilot this year. That was worth every penny. Since it controls the big engine, It also controls the kicker when I am using that.

    I don't have the autopilot it tied to a gps yet, it just holds the course..... . 

     

     

    MC rocket artificial Herring strip

    What kind of scent do you use? Do you soak them in it, or just apply before use?
    I've had pretty good luck with the rockets. I've caught fish with them every time I put them down but one so far.

    They definitely catch fish and are easy to use and keep on hand. I don't know how they'd fair in a head 2 head battle against real strips but I've done well with them. I think it's harder to get good hookups with them though. And I do add herring oil to them.

    I noticed an Okuma Convector in the background. I found the drags on the convectors to be too sticky- not smooth enough for no-stretch wire rigs IMO. You may want to consider upgrading to Tekotas with Christmas approaching lol. 

    Thanks! I have shimano Tyrnos reels for my rigger rods and really like the drags on them. Really my first year doing  this, will be upgrading piece by piece.
