The instructions for mounting a Garelick kicker bracket would leave the prop and skeg in the water while in the up position. Woudn't that produce drag when cruising at speed. Any suggestions?

Yes.. No... maybe.


With the kicker tilted up and the boat at rest, the prop and skeg may be in the water, but as soon as you start to plane they should be completely out of the water.

If you mean when on plane the prop and skeg are still in the water, then yes it will create drag.
