    Default mounting a kicker motor


    I have a 2004 4hp johnson I am wanting to mount on the back of my boat. I see some mounts at bass pro but they look dinky.

    I think I will have a machine shop build my mount.

    Here is the question can you buy control cables for a 4 hp engine.

    Brother says he can run a lawn mower throttle cable to the console but I was thinking it will rust and be a pain.

    Has anyone done this?

    Answers:

    1) OK den

    2) I dunno

    3) I had a cable like that rigged on a boat to a TM that lasted 15 years or so. Got wet a lot. Never had any issues with it sticking. You could always use a throttle cable designed for an O/B if you're worried about it.

    4) Umm, no.

    Glad I could help.
