Kicker motor

[W.W.IV.]

I have a friend with a 18ft. Lund Tyee will it take a short shaft kicker or does it need a long shaft. Thank you.

That all depends on where and how your mounting it.

PK, theres room to mount it on the transom .

Not sure how the Tyee is setup but my guess would be long shaft. My 1775 Pro V takes a long shaft and has pads on both sides of the transom for mounting a kicker. Hope this helps.

Messure from the transom to the bottom of the boat, and ask the dealer armed with the numbers and he will tell you, or look it up on the manufactures web site, most of them will tell you what motor will do it.

You want the cavitation plate above the prop to be at or below the bottom of the boat.

Remember though a "kicker" is a little different design made for trolling and it dose work better than just the normal motor. They normaly put a larger lower unit and prop on it. So the lenghts can very.
