I want to put a 9.9 kicker on a tiller boat. What is the better way to go, Panther Lift, or power tilt on the kicker motor? What is the difference? And how do you tie them together to steer them both at the same time.

ProKicker!

Here's a link on how to connect them to steer from the wheel.

Thanks Shep! I think you are correct. It seems like the Mercury Pro Kicker is the way to go, and then put that bar/linkage between them for steering. I am going to go look at a Lund Pro Guide 2010 this week, and it needs a kicker. Thanks!

I don't even use a tie bar. My motor turns my boat just fine just by turning the big outboard with the steering wheel. It's not the best, but it works pretty good.

I can turn in a lot tight radius than most people think would be possible. Might want to try this before you buy this stuff. Give it a shot. You're not out nothing.
