    Default Where to mount a kicker


    Bought a new Excel Bay Pro and trying to figure out how to mount a kicker on the back. We have a lot of hp restricted lakes here in Illinois and I have a 9.9 Evinrude I've used on my previous boats. The transom is angled/tapered and the only flat spot is next to the motor but the trailer tie downs attach there. Looked at the various kicker brackets and they all block the tie down area. Also there isn't much room along side the motor. I have a 36v Ultrex at the bow this might be my only way to get around on the hp restricted lakes. Any thoughts ?
    Not my boat but identical to mine ...

    I would look at the kicker bracket and see how it would mount. Then I would determine if one of its mounting bolts could be replaced with a stainless eyebolt that tie down strap could be attached to. You don't have much room to play with there.
