Kicker motor brackets

[Jason717]

I have a 17’ aluminum, my kicker motor is short shaft and in any waves over 16-20” it constantly pops out of the water, I need a long shaft but it’s not in the budget right now.

My question is can I use a kicker motor bracket to get the motor to sit lower in the water?

I do not think that you can use an adjustable bracket and expect the outboard to go lower, but if you can install a non adjustable bracket(Panther has some) about 5 inches below the place where your outboard clamps onto the transom you should see improvement. Before you do that you should check if the remote control cables will still move freely and not hit the transom. If they do you can solve that problem with a spacer or two between the transom and the bracket.
