My New (old) Kicker

[coleman kayak1]

Well a lot of itlems (cough, gas prices) has convinced me to install a kicker in the place of a 40 wi/ trolling plate.<br /><br />THE ENGINE: An evinrude lighttwin I believe it is a 1964, today I put it on sawhorses and started in a barrel. I also picked up some tune-up items that I plan to put on tommorrow.<br />

<br />

<br />So does anybody have any suggestions?

A really great little engine, Yammy40. One of the best ever.<br /><br />The shallow water drive could come in handy, too.<br /><br />Oh, but scotty c is right. You need to stay with the big Yammy and send the li'l Rude to JB, who promises to treat her with loving care.

Those are great little outboards...practically bulletproof. You'll like having it on your boat.

Re: My New (old) Kicker

I use a 6 hp kicker to troll instead of using the 25 hp main engine. It's quieter, smoother and I can troll as slow as I want for hours and hours on a gallon of gas. I also like the piece of mind of knowing I'll won't miss breakfast if 25 hp has a breakdown.
