Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | If you look at the pro kicker from mercury and you enjoy what the engine has to offer, then just move to the 8hp. Same engine, different intake. Less bulky clamp bracket. Pull choke and primer for easy cold starts, as well as a throttle only switch so you may raise the rpms while warming up. Shift in handle for easy of operation.

| Love my T8. Awesome starting, smooth operating and extremely quiet. Most new 8hp kickers are nice, unfortunately none of them are cheap! |

| I am extremely happy with my 9.9 Pro Kicker, unlike Mark mine starts good and runs like a dream, I have had them on both my Tuffy's. |

Location: Berlin | With the 26 Fury on my big motor I can get down to 4.2mph which is perfect for all the trolling I do.
As for a kicker, the Pro Kicker is awesome but so is the t-8. You can't go wrong with either. |
