Re: Minn Kota 50 lbs thrust , Ok as a kicker??????
It should do great as a kicker on that hull. I have a 30lb thrust on my bayliner same size(emergency kicker). The one and only time I used it, I was 5 miles from the ramp. It got us back in 2 hours.<br />So with 50lbs, you should be fine.

Ok, I sent you a msg, but I may not get a reply, if i don't recognise the sender (been getting hacked lately)..So put "iboats" in the subject line,and I'll know it's safe,and it's you.
Re: Minn Kota 50 lbs thrust , Ok as a kicker??????
Where do you want to get kicked to!!!<br />If this emergency backup, I would really reconsider. How fast does the weather change where you boat. Here on Lake MI it can change in a matter of minutes.

We have some quick change weather here too, Essex. But a good TM and a hot deep cycle beat a set of oars any day.<br />I would rather have a pair of counter-rotating outboards tho.
