[QUOTE="ppine, post: 454166, member: 22555"] I have a 19 foot aluminum fishing boat with a Yamaha 115. This week I lost power on the main engine and had some trouble getting to shore, walking the boat, and finding a place to get the trailer in the water. Then we needed a tow strap and another vehicle to get it out. It seems like a good time to bite the bullet and acquire a kicker motor. I am thinking of a 10 hp 4 stroke mounted directly on the transom. A long shaft should fit without a mounting plate. A rope start motor will be functional even with dead batteries. I like the idea of tlller steering for fishing because everything is aft for trolling. Anyone else run a kicker this way? I see a lot of auto matic steering and electric start motors on mounting plates. [/QUOTE]
