Looking for tips or advice on a kicker motor set up

There are some great custom mounts out there. I believe boats out of oswego. Fairhaven and sous have them.

Do yourself a favor and get a hydraulic jack plate. I put a t25 on the back of my Aquasport, love the setup. It is a kicker jack made by Bobs jack played out of Florida. Very heavy duty!!!! Let me know if you need any more info.

Do you have a swim platform or not will determine what type set up or approach would be best for you, and give others ideas for what will work best for you. Good luck on your kicker!!

This is just one of several options out there.

 

I put this on my boat 7 years ago. No issues and still going strong.

Good. I'll try to find a photo

If I can I'll post. Get a kicker with its own trim unit. The guys i fish with have a 25 on a 31 foot and a 40 on a 30 foot. They perform great. Both have the same custom bracket. Very very secure. close to the boat. Even have plumbed the steering to kicker in with the rudders hydraulics.

If I can find a shot I will. I have a youtube video that has a shot of the kicker.

The reason I suggest the jack plate, is when it gets rough you can drop it down a touch and never cavitate the kicker. Also works great to change the oil without pulling the boat. I split my platform, and can stand on the back and change the oil. If you look back on here from last spring I believe there is pics of my setup. I have the custom bracket made for our Thompson, but the Jackplate is so much nicer!!!
