[QUOTE="oldude, post: 403528, member: 20410"] I never thought about a kicker bracket. If I use a trolling motor only it wouldn't take much of a mount to handle that. I should be able to make one easy enough. My neighbor offered me an old 6hp Johnson (IIRC). I don't know what shape it's in but free is a decent price. I haven't had the 40hp in the water yet (to cold). It ran good on muffs. slow idle, fast idle, forward and reverse all worked well. Compression in the top cyl was 150 bottom cycl was 148/149. It is a Johnson J40ELCR. If I were to sell it what would a fair price be? How about the steering console and all the linkage? I wouldn't want to cheat anyone but, I don't want to be cheated either. If I decide to keep what I got I really like what rscottp did with his build https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=32534/ thanks for helping a new guy out. [/QUOTE]
