Location: Roscoe IL | i have a 96 stratos 219f, where i will mount, the transom is 21" looking at ordering a new kicker, and deciding if i need a 20 or 25" my worry with a 25" is it will drag on holeshot. I probably wont leave the kicker on unless i plan on trolling. |

20 will be plenty enough as when you are running the kicker, you will never be on plane or fast enough that the prop will not catch.
Assuming this has a modified V in the back of the transom or is it a pad transom? If modified V, you'd be all set with a 20"

Location: Walker, MN | 20" is fine as long as it's just outside the middle 1/3 of the hull. |

Location: Roscoe IL | ended up with a 25" because its all anywhere had in-stock that wasnt 200+ about MSRP. its a 2021 9.9 merc.i have ordered a tie bar set up for it, but i got to thinking, is it better to lock the motor straight (this motor has that capability) and steer with my terrova? i plan on ordering a trollmaster pro3+ wireless for throttle control. it seems to me like control would be better by steering from the front. Pardon my neophyte trolling questions, i am, quite new at it. |
