I have mostly seen kickers installed on the port side. I have a swim platform and ladder there.
Would you move the ladder/transom to the starboard side and install a kicker on the port side? Would you just install a kicker on the starboard side?
Also, would you have the kicker completely independent from the boat's existing fuel system (ie have it set up to a portable red tank)? Safety is my primary reason for wanting a kicker. In the attached Whaler thats appears to be what is done, but maybe that's more practicle on an 18 foot boat.
