[12pointer]

i have been thinking about getting a kiker on my boat but i need a bracket any 1 know if this is a good bracket,u can also get a mount that the bracket slides in and locks so u can take the bracket off whenever u like.

Been there ...done that!

Went thru this "mounting scenario" last year. I asked many questions from many experts on MANY "boards" and best advice was to mount the motor directly to the transom ....if possible.

I don't have all the stuff from last year but if you have to use a bracket there is a quick connect bracket so you can remove the whole thing quickly. Will see if I can remember the name.

If you are going to put a 2 stroke Merc be careful here is something I did to mine. Cause if you tilt up a Merc 2 stroke you will hit and possibly break your gas connection with the small lever at the front of the bracket. And it can very quickly ruin a day of fishing. But after the change I did to mine it works great. But I agree if you can mount it straight to the transom it's a lot better but some boats it's just not doable like mine.
