Anybody suggest any brands for a kicker motor mount on a swim platform? I've seen the simple 90degree one on Cabella's site. But I like the Garelick with the lowering capability. But they all seem to make the transom mount version. I'd like to keep the motor as low as possible to fight cavitation. Will I have to have somebody make a custom bracket and then add the lowering mount? I have an I/O drive and was going to use a connecting rod for steering. Any lessons learned? Will the lowering mount put the kicker to far back?:confused:
