Looking for feedback/ideas if a 6hp would be enough motor to use as a kicker on a 18.5 foot walleye boat? Thanks

I would say it would work on a limited basis. It wouldn't handle all conditions with out running motor at a high RPM My .02

I'd say yes, it'll work and be enough motor. I believe that most people do not need the 9.9 horse power. Most walleye guys do not troll that fast. I see most guys trolling at very low rpm's for very long extended periods which is never good for motors including four strokes. The advantage of a 6 is that you'll keep it at higher rpm's thus having a cleaner running engine with fewer problems with spark plugs fowling. The downside will be that it'll be louder, even with it being a four stroke.
