20 HP kicker, must have a big boat. I fish Lake Ontario and Erie later in the summer when the walleye make their way down to this end of the lake.

Thanks. I did add shift control later. Update link is above.

Thank you so much. Glad you liked it.

Thanks!

Gracias y me alegro de que te haya resultado útil.

You are probably right. I troll Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and generally 2 mph is the slowest I would go so works well for me. Could probably get a little slower speed if I lowered the idle speed and tilted it all the way down but still wouldn't get it down to 1 mph.

Yeah. You are fishing the big boy lakes and the weather it brings. I’m fishing lakes and reservoirs in California for all trout and land locked salmon. Sometimes they can have serious lock jaw and slow small presentation is the only thing that works.

Thank you. Big motor stays down while using kicker motor. It does help with steering. Kicker motor is tilted up if using the main motor as it is not good to force water though it when not in use and can cause Hydrolock.

Still shifting at the kicker but that will be my next project for it in the spring. Still working on how I will do that.

Not sure if your still interested but added shift control. link above in the description

@@kevinnixon4248 Thanks for the update!

Thank you. Yes the response is very good on the throttle control. I generally troll anywhere from 2 mph to 3 mph depending on what I am fishing for. I can adjust speed easily while watching the GPS speed at the console and don't have to go back and forth to the motor. I can adjust speed by as low as 0.1 mph increments by nudging the control up or down. Generally it holds the speed very constantly and I only have to adjust it when changing direction to compensate for waves, current and wind direction. Tohatsu actually makes the Mercury kicker motors so set up would probably be very similar.

Thanks. I have a long shaft 20" and the cavitation plate lines up perfect with the bottom of the hull. Pretty sure the Fishmaster and Superfisherman are the same hull design.

I am on the Canadian side, never fished the USA side. At the time it was just an old cable connector I had laying around. Since then I ordered the proper fittings. I am sure available at any bicycle store but I ordered mine from here. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003495258576.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.18.5ce11802iblSdQ

Hi. Not to lift up as it only locks when in reverse gear but to lower the unit when tilted up there is a knob on the side that needs to be pushed back so I use a paint roller handle I had laying around and bent it to shape. Can be seen laying on the back gunnel at 5 minute mark of the video.

Thank you and no idea why it won't play on your tablet. Tried mine and seems to play. Maybe try a different device or computer.

Kevin where did you get the black ends that go on the end of your brake cable sheath

I had no idea how much I would need so i bought this. You can probably find shorter length if you search.www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B082Y77712/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@@kevinnixon4248 Do you have a complete parts list for the remote throttle? I am in Canada as well so it would be easy for me to replicate your set-up. Thanks for any help!

No just that. Sorry

Hi. I have since changed it to a DIY as I added shift control as well. They are pretty easily found if you google Lawnmower Throttle Control. No idea where you are located but bought mine here www.princessauto.com/en/convertible-throttle-control/product/PA0008673014 If you don't mind waiting cheap here www.aliexpress.com/item/4000393716175.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.193.42dc18028zHWOl

Perfect thanks. I'm in southern Ontario. That's one of my favorite stores

So am I. Not sure where you are but since I changed mine you can have it if your near me and want it. Cambridge ON.

what did you change it to?? ​@@kevinnixon4248

I did later and posted an update. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jpp-hsej3LTJoY0.html

8HP is twin cylinder, pretty much same motor as 9.9 with different carb.

​@@kevinnixon42489.9 is actually different bigger block and efi. 8-9.8hp are same though

I ran it through the boat and then cut it so not sure the exact length but about 17 feet.

Cool. Thanks for that. Do you have a link for the inner cable you used. I cant find anything longer than 8 feet. I found the outer shield you used on amazon. Just cant find the inner stainless steel cable that runs in side it

@@HondaRyder2002 I used a wire called Aircraft Cable I bought from the local TSC store by the foot but if you google Aircraft Cable it is available in other places. Just make sure you get a gauge that will slide through the jacket

Awsome. Thanks for the help.. And great job in your project and video

@@kevinnixon4248 Make sure you read the reviews. Apparently it is junk.
