Location: minocqua, wi. | i have a '94 60 and originally it was rigged with a 2-stroke tiller kicker and i rigged an oiler and tied it to the main motor. that was fine for when i used it for emergencies and just on occasion.
i troll a lot now, but for salmon on lake michigan and superior so a couple things are important to me 1. quiet/no-smoke and 2. control at the helm and mostly 3. power tilt and trim.
almost all of the kickers are Tohatsu's with a brand label and I believe yamaha makes their own. mine is a 4-stroke evinrude/tohatsu tied in to both fuel tank and steering and the controls are mounted on the captain's seat base low and to the left. it's a nice set-up for big water trolling.
if you are precision trolling you may want to consider a tiller ... |
