taimen Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 kicker bracket/motor I've got a garelick bracket w/ a15hp mariner( 2stroke) on it, i'm worried about the miles i'm going to be putting on a little over 200mi. round trip 3weekends a month. I think the motor weighs 75/85 lbs , the bracket can handle up to 112 lbs. I've got a backing plate an fender washers on the insde. do I need to remove the kicker when i'm going on a long haul. if it were hooked on to the tramson I wouldn't be so worried. thank you, tight lines n screaming drags to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homebrew87 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I run a small ratchet strap from a back cleat around the kicker to one of my tie down hooks on the transom. I just snug it up a couple inches to take the bounce out. That way the bracket is just holding a static load.
