Thanks everyone for all the info provided on my previous post regarding the boat. Now onto kicker motors:

How many guys use one of these for trolling instead of the bigger motor?

For a 20' boat, what's the most appropriate size? I was thinking of a 9.9.

Is it standard or the best way to have this kicker linked to the main outboard for steering purposes or is tiller steer better?

What's an average cost increase when adding (10HP) kicker to a new boat?

Does anyone use this a the main motor on smaller lakes restricted to 10 HP and under? How slow is top speed? How is the steering with the motor mounted off center on the transom?

Any other info, tips, or suggestions regarding kicker motors appreciated.

Thanks.
