Location: Waukesha, WI | I have not seen what impact hours on the big motor translate to dollar wise nor do I know how much more fuel efficient a kicker would be. A kicker (2-3K) is cheaper than the main motor. Which would you rather put hours on? What waters do you fish and would a second motor in case the main motor dies be useful? I looked into a Trollmaster device to fine tune trolling speeds, but a device is not available for a 90HP motor.
How much trolling do you do, what level of speed control do you want, and would a second motor in case the main failed be useful? Just other points to consider. I certainly like the 90HP four stroke for being clean burning. I choke on others exhaust when they troll by. If I wasn't thinking of selling my rig, I probably would have bought a kicker already just to have better speed control. |
