Going to add a kicker?

[Blacklab]

As of yet no, hoping I don't need one.

Looks sharp.  Do  the electrical wiring yourself?

[Blacklab]

yes sir! it actually was pretty easy and straight forward. A little standing on my head doing circles but not bad.


Going for Kokes Sunday 03/24/19. Might be first blood minus mine 

[h20hunter]

Very nice. Picked up my registration today. I'll be out tomorrow for a final break in tomorrow on my local lake.

[Blacklab]

Awesome! Let the good times float 😉🥃.

I dont think you will get that main motor to idle down enough to troll with??  Even if you could you would be putting a lot of hours on it.  A 8hp Yamaha kicker will run you about 3200 (buy in Oregon no tax).  A new 115 yamaha will run you over 10k I'm guessing.  Plus gas use on a kicker is nill compared to trolling with your main.  Just my thoughts Im sure you thought it out.

  a kicker is money well spent.

[Blacklab]

Yeah I hear ya all 😉. I have thought about the kicker and the hrs id save on the main. Right now I think Im good for this yr 😉🥃


Btw if I can’t idle slow enough. I’ll throw out the sea anchors 👍

Your satisfaction and ability to fish efficiently will skyrocket with a kicker if you plan to troll much.

Sea anchors get to be a pain in the arse.

If he plans on doing any significant salmon fishing there is no way he will last long without a kicker.  Just give him some time.  Fighting a fish with downrigger balls in the water on both sides, sea anchor in the back, hmmm no way it ends well most of the time
