kicker bracket

[walleyejack]

I am thinking of putting a kicker on my 16 lund, got a deal on a 15hp merc, might be too much but will see i guess, my question is, is it better to mount directly on transom or install a kicker plate ?

It is a long shaft. Any comments or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

you don't need a bracket if it's a long shaft

True,but how much room do you have to mount the motor on your transom?

There cant be that much on a 16fter.

I had a longshaft 6 HP Merc kicker on a 16' Crestliner, although their a pretty wide boat at 87".

 

15 HP is alot bigger and it may be a tight squeeze on a 16 footer

thanks guys. I found another deal on a 9.9 johnson long shaft, I might give that a shot. 1991 elcetric start with controls. $750. seems like a deal to me, from a reputable marina also
