I started on my first attempt of a kicker setup yesterday. It's a 1860 with 90 horse mercury and a 4 hp 4 stroke kicker. After rolling down to JPEater's house to pick up some supplies and ideas, I had a few hours to work last night and a few today. I have a working setup, but I'm going to have to tear it all apart to paint everything this next weekend. The main reason I'm posting an almost identical set-up to JPEater's is that I was able to get away without making any cuts or drilling any holes to the boat or kicker motor. Maybe it can help someone if they have a similar motor and they wanna keep it in stock form. I also have an idea on how to make the steering arm fold down to get in my garage and under low bridges, but I ran out of time for this weekend. Look for pics this next weekend on that. Try to ignore the rusty farm metal (all I had laying around), extra long bolts that I haven't cut yet (I bought a bunch extra long to keep things simple), and the crappy cell phone pics in the dark. Hope this helps someone:
