Linking Baystar Hydraullic to kicker


salmonite

Recommended Posts

Here are a couple pics of how a plate is attached to the BayStar and the quick disconnect ball is mounted to the plate. You can probably fabricate something to accomplish the same thing on your engine. Every setup is going to be different so figuring out the geometry to the kicker may be a challenge in some cases. The main objective (in the perfect world) is to be able to have full travel of both the main and kicker engines without one hitting the stops before the other. If anything, let the kicker (slave) under travel so the main is never impeded by the kicker stops.  My boat is an Arima and the transom is not straight across as in a lot of boats. Also I have a power mount for the kicker to contend with so the kicker sets back a ways when down in the trolling position.
