A lot of the time I will use as my main power in some 9.9 lakes we like to fish in IL you are not allowed to run your big motor at all. This set up looks like it would work for me, I am going to look into it. Does the kicker drop doun 8 or 10 inches from the picture when you are using it? I read up on one Garelick 4 stroke mount and it said not for hauling the kicker on the hiway! I can't take it off every time I want to move, Do you just go down the road with it like the picture?? Thanks for all your help John

I run stabil or seafoam in my tank year round, I figured that would take care of winterizing right?? We never know when will be the last time we use the rig for the season, it will get cold then sometime in Nov or Dec it will warm and we will get out for a couple of days. Lake doesn't usually freeze. Sometimes it sits for about 6-8 weeks without running but that is usually the longest.

I guess you would need some kind of remote throttle also? mine is a twist on the tiller.

I looked at those, but what happens to the tiller etc. once mounted, does it set back far enough from the transom?? Then does the tiller just stick up in the air??

I have a Crestliner CMV 1850 with a 115 4 stroke. I own a Johnson 9.9 4 stroke short (regular) shaft tiller motor. They are all bass boat folks around here I need advice on how to mount and use my 9.9 as a kicker on my Crestliner. The CMV has a flat bass type deck and the transom only dips down for the big motor. I tried mounting it on the transom with the regular clamp, but it is too high. I looked at those kicker mounts they use on sailboats etc. but i don't see how I could manage the tiller if the motor is mounted lower. I can just use the 9.9 and lock it straight foward if necessary and use the big motor like a tiller to steer. Although I would like to hook it up to steer from the wheel also. Any ideas?? Thank You, John
