    Kicker motor vs towing

    Why 2 same sized motors are the best setup. With power tilt up on both. The none running motor MUST be tilted up. To prevent boat speed on the good motor. From ramming water up the dead motors cooling system. And into the stopped cylinders. IT DOES HAPPEN. Should you forget to COMPLETELY...

    1998 Volvo/OMC - When shifting to forward, the motor stalls. It runs fine on muffs.
