installing a kicker bracket

[oldbouy]

hello , i just purchased a 1982 glastron 16 ft tri hull open bow , where can i find instructions
to install a kicker motor bracket on the stern of this boat ?
the transom design is not flat , a few curves and how do i access the transom from the inside of this boat ? thank you for looking . oldbouy

You probably won't find instructions for your specific boat

You may have to make a wedge

Welcome
Each boat is different but this vid shows how one was installed

Oldbouy don't respond to questions using PM's. The PM is only used for something just between us and does not deal with problem at hand. Post your comments here in this thread

Your PM

hello alldodge , thank you for the video , i am challenged with a couple of things so far . 1st how to access the transom from the inside , what needs to be removed IE: floatation foam , how high is the space to fit a bracket , able to fit a backing plate to secure the kicker bracket , building a wedge design for the outside . thanks again oldbouy

All these questions would need to come from someone with your exact boat, or by posting pics with what your seeing. Many kickers do fine at a slight angle, others do not.

As before each boat is different and anyone here would need for the most part to stick their head inside your boat to get an idea. So we are not there so you need to provide info including measurements just to get an idea.

Well, I guess we all have different ideas and some are better than others. The video was well prepared, but I had to cringe in a few cases.

The initial footage showed a boat with the kicker tilted up on the bracket. That's worse than driving down the highway without a transom saver.

Silicone to fill the bolt holes?

That transom looked like the perfect application for a transom mounted kicker with no bracket needed. (maybe he measured it though)

Nevertheless IMHO the Panther is the best bracket today if you need one.
