I always thought kicker ment because you forgot to bring one you should be kicked in the head!

If you forget you are the kickee, not the kicker.

Nice catch. We are in fresh water. Keeps the boats and equipment in nice condition, but our catches don't compare.

Our required speeds are slower than the Mercruiser can handle. That's why the 9.9 'Rude came in handy.

Even a 10 year old can join the fraternity....

Fishin is fishin. Nice catch!

my point was ... what I sensed to be a typing error runnning a kicker at 1.9 mile per gallon

"When I drop my kicker and set her to 1.9 mpg"......

Wholly crap. My spell checker missed that. Even with my old 2-stroke oil burners running at 16:1 I never got that low.

Thanks for the correction.

I'd be curious as to the prop you are using on the 6. Those motors from 1966 through 1979 can use the same props (1965 6 & the earlier 5½ used a different prop due to the new slip-hub) and with the long run they enjoyed they offered a larger diameter lower pitch version that would be good for powering a sloop or for an emergency motor for something big. It would allow for adequate rpms to get the most out of that motor (and not lug and overheat it).
