I have a 16ft bass boat. It is powered by a 60hp Johnson 2 stroke motor. It will not troll slow enough. I also have a 25 hp Johnson 2 stroke motor. Will that be useful as a kicker motor for trolling for trout?
Thanks,
Randy

Re: 25HP Kicker motor

It will work, the problem you may run into is having two motors of that size on the transom may possibly be too much weight, this will have the stern riding very low, that is if there's even enough room for both of them.


I used an 18hp kicker on a 16' that had a 90HP main motor and it handled it fine. I normally had a 6 on it, but it was in the shop. How well it works for you will depend on the hull design.

Something in the range of 6 to 9.9HP would be just right.

Thanks. I was thinking that but I did not know for sure.
