Got my kicker bracket installed. Well actually it's currently just lag bolted but I'm going to pick up some stainless through-bolts over lunch today and replace them. The motor sticks out pretty far (wife thinks it's hideous) but I'm extremely pleased with both the up and the down position the motor ends up in. I think I actually may even be able to leave the motor in that "kinda tilted" position it's in in the picture underway without it dragging. I'll have to rig up an EZ Steer setup so I can steer it from the helm. I don't foresee adding remote controls because this motor needs to be able to be easily removed and put on my dad's little boat and I don't want to be having to undo control cables repeatedly.
Only thing better than one ugly Evinrude is two!
I also mounted up my swim platform. No pics of that yet. The lower support bar for it is too long (must be designed for boats that are taller and/or have a deeper V) and will need to be cut down and re-crimped. Shouldn't be too big a deal. It will be really nice to have when it's completed. It's a sweet 2 step ladder model.
