Title: Kicker Tie Rods
Post by: Mossy on March 17, 2012, 04:09:10 PM: Anyone have some suggestions for a good tie rod system from a kicker to the main? I don't need anything fancy but for sure stainless rod and hardware. It would be for 2 Honda outboards if that makes a difference. Not sure if tilting would still be an option if it's in place, but that would be nice. Thanks

what kind of boat do you have?
