Walleye Fishing -> Walleye Boats and Motors -> kicker motor support

Subject: kicker motor support


I'm sporting a new pair of mercury motors and I have the 9.9 pro kicker with electric start and trim. I"m wondering how to support my kicker better to protect it from the beating its gonna take while running in waves. I'm not gonna put a panther lift on......I'm wondering if anyone had some insight on those rubber rings that tighten up when you trim the motor up....is that enough. Any advice would be great thanks........MM

The Merc Pro Kicker is self-supporting and self strapping, no need to add anything additional to it for support.

The pro kicker we have has built in support straps.
We through bolted it to the transom.

No they are a nylon strap.
It is holding the motor rock solid tilted up.
Very ruff rides this year, been in 7 footers and it never wiggles.
The trim tilt is fast.
So far the motor is a gem.

My next choice will not be a panther lift I had 2 break in 3 years. My next boat will have the merc pro kicker
