Hey everyone ,Wanted to ask on here if you guys could help. I'm looking for a kicker motor for my boat. Something to get me down slow enough for kokanee. I have a old 79 17ft marlin fiberglass. I run a 115hp Merc. Want to buy a kicker for trolling kokanee,trout what not and to have as backup as well. I'm going with used outboard, don't have this funds for a new one. What HP will get me down to it. Thanks in advance

Re: kicker help
I'd bet an 8hp will do just fine. ![[cool]](./images/smilies/msp_cool.gif "Cool")

Re: kicker help
That's what I've been thinking. Nothing bugger than a 9hp been looking for 8hp.
