Re: Trim Tabs with a kicker
Better on fuel, less smoke (if your kicker is a four stroke), quieter, and you can go SLOW SLOW SLOW (much better control of speed). 19" prop at 800/1000 RPM is a fast striped bass troll. Also it's backup if your main engine has a problem.
John123 - I'm running a 2002 yamaha 8hp 4stroke kicker. It's not the T series, but it's does the job (5/6 mph with the 6 pitch prop). I also have an 84 Merc 7.5hp with a 5 pitch big ear sailboat prop and electric start.
I had a 150 FICHT on my boat and I can't tell you how many times that little motor saved my arse.
