Picked up a kicker for the dingy today. Happy, happy, happy!
Might be a-little underpowered for some, but at only 42#s its a good fit for us. Sure will beat rowing back from the restaurant upwind after dinner and vino..........
woo-hoo

Very nice. I have the 6HP version of that one. It's a Tohatsu and they run like tops.

It's amazing how easy they start and you'll have some great times with it I'm sure.

(they sip gas too)

Very nice.. .how you plan to secure the kicker while in the driveway? I see the trailer is secured... pretty neat with the wheel lock...

Just testing it to make sure there is no hic-up's when we get out on the water. Hate those kind of surprises................
Normally the dink is in the garage as will be the motor.
We throw it on the back of the truck to and from the launch, its a 10+ footer

Looks great and does indeed beat rowing. What kind of mount is that on oyour dink? Did that come with the dink or can I get one for mine. I like the weaver leaver but for the money I choose to keep my dink motor in the transom locker. If fits nicely and securely in there but I would prefer to leave it in the dink. If ever there were a true emergency I would rather it be on the dink already.

I grabbed it along with the davits i wanted. Adventure marine. Probably paid too much but ordered it as part of the complete kit.
The jury is still out as i have not yet tried it on the water. Anticipate it will work fine, and plan to leave the kicker on the dink when we move around on the water. if not i will be pi**ed.
The kicker has a integrated tank so it rightfully should all come together with out too much hassle.
