9.9 kicker motor is it worth keeping

[sam3]

I have 2310 with 225 and a9.9 kiker how well does a 9.9 push this boat is it worth keeping for trolling

Most kickers (with the right prop) will push you at about 6 knots tops.

If I had one, I'd keep it and use it while trolling.
My 225 OX66 tends to push me too fast @800 rpm while trolling for Rockfish.

It's the 1st thing that I couldn't wait to get off this boat. Sold it for a Quick $500.

YES I have a 2320 with 9.9 h/t I will troll 5-7hrs a day. I can't see putting that time on a 225 4s, if you don't troll thats another story :lol:

I have more than 2300 hours on the kicker. Tied to the main engine and hooked up with the autopilot I can run it all day and use less than 5 gals of gas--like stealing money. I set the ap then go about relaxing and playing captain. I feel like the Mars rover rolling around seeing the sites...

EZ steer kit. It has quick connect links that you can remove or you can leave the kicker connected (tilted up) when you use the main on plane.
