Subject: RE: Kicker Engine Placement.


You might be a good idea to contact Tracker and see what they say. I emailed Crestliner, and they said the kicker was fine but warned me that my boat may list and not track a true as before. An 8 hp seems like a pretty large kicker for a boat with only an 85" beam. However, if I am not mistaken, the boat itself is rated for a 75; the difference between a 50 and the 75 would probably exceed the weight of the 8 hp. I kept hoping that someone would chime in since I am considering something very similar. Regarding the split in the fuel line, you might want to look at Walleye Central (boat forum). They just covered this issue about a month ago. The consensus seems to be that it can cause problems. They also seem to recommend a port installation, but I never got a good feel for their reasons.

I hope you can get some answers to your questions,
Jeff
