Does anyone have any recommendations for a solid kicker mount? My kicker is mounted to a bracket, but the tilt feature is just the basic bracket like you'd see on a small tiller. The previous owner used to tilt up and tie down to keep from bouncing while running, but apparently it wasn't sturdy enough cause I sheared the bolt after going air borne and hitting 3 big waves in a row. Might have been pushing a little hard, but I'd like to set it up with a solid mount that can take the abuse. Any suggestions?

Panther makes lifts and solid brackets for kickers.

Also, there is the Bracket Pro. I'll see if I can post links.

Thanks. I've seen the panther products, but the bracket pro is new to me. Is that just for trailering or is it setup for use on the water also? Looks to me like it's more of a transom saver for trailering.

The BracketPro is more for on the water support of the kicker. Keeps the kicker from bouncing around in the rough waves, and holds it very secure.

You can use it for trailering support. I trailer with my kicker down, and use a bunzy cord to keep it from bouncing and turning.
