I'm looking at hooking a 9.9 hp pro kicker to my 150hp opti on my Fish Hawk. I'm told that because of the sea star hyd. steering, I need a $ 300.00 tie bar from Merc. Is there a cheaper way to do this? | |||

Posts: 32880 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Yes. You can use threaded rod and compression type fittings attached to the tab on the front of the main power. This is the front of a Verado, but you get the idea. Not sure what the Opti 150 tab looks like, can't remember, and there isn't one at this show. Tons of 4 strokes, though.

Posts: 194 Location: Lincolnshire, IL | Not sure how far the motors will be offset, but I think I tied mine together for less than $100. I purchased all the parts(except the black fuel line that I purchased at Lowes which covers the threaded rod) from Mr. Marine and had them shipped to me in OH. Anyway, I will attach the photos the way I have is set up on my 1860 Angler. Oh Yeah, I was also directed to use Loctite(the strong stuff).

Posts: 507 | from TOP H20: I was just in a Gander Mtn. a few hrs. ago and saw the "bar" that connects the two motors for something like $27.00-$29.00 I may be wrong but its worth checking out. Jerome | ||

Posts: 5874 | You need more than just the bar for a clean install. Here's a link to the post where I show mine, and the P/N's to do it. I think Pamp's stock the SeaStar parts. The way Wade has his works well, too. http://walleye.outdoorsfirst.com/board/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=9... Don't forget the TrollMaster throttle control! Edited by Shep 1/21/2008 9:37 AM | ||
