Good Morning Everyone,

I've got an Alumacraft 175 cs with a Yamaha F115 and I can troll down to about 2.75 mph. I would like to add a kicker for peace of mind I fish some pretty remote water and the piece of mind would be great. I also want to be able to fish slower in the fall and at the above speeds I'm not quite where I want to be.

My questions are these. First is a 6 horse going to be big enough for the boat I'm in? My next question is I want to be able to pull the kicker to put on another boat. Can I set it up for steering with the big motor and then unattach it for use on a smaller boat for portages?

Thanks

Dave
