Trim Tabs with a kicker

[bigeasy1]

Big,glad to hear that the 8hp pushes your 20MA to 6mph.I'm pretty sure i'll be putting the 8 high thrust on my 23 Tsunami project boat,for trolling.

Finest,I know that i'm one of the few fresh water guys on the site.
We like kickers for a few reasons; They are much better for trolling at the 2-3 mph range than the big engine,they sip fuel,they are a great safety feature,should the main engine fail.

We frequently fish fifteen or more miles from port,and although it would take a while it could get us back in.We troll eight to ten continuous hours a day,so it wouldn't take long to build up the hours on the main engine if thats all we used.

It also saves lots of wear and tear on the main engine and outdrive,and would be much less expensive to repair.
