Kicker mounting question

AvgJoe Posted 4/26/2008 8:04 PM (#68788) Subject: Kicker mounting question Member Posts: 141 Location: Oshkosh, WI My mercury kicker motor is mounted directly to the transom of my 17" smoker craft. When not using it, I raise it up and use a ratchet strap to hold it down, but it wants to get loose and bounce around when I am running. I don't want to spend the money for a hydraulic mount; what are my other options? weasel Posted 5/1/2008 10:53 PM (#68984 - in reply to #68788) Subject: RE: Kicker mounting question Member Posts: 91 Location: West Bend, WI I have a bracket pro and it works well. the real inexpensive version you could take the bracket off that locks it up and put a small 2x4 in there and strap it down.
