We do trailer with a Honda 15 Electic start on Garlick bracket, but also take some strain on our Gauerhar davit, which will keep it from bouncing on the bracket.
If you have twins, probably there is no need for a kicker. There are plates which will slow a boat even further by deflecting the prop wash downward, and get trolling speed down to tenths of a knot.
Dont consider "screwing" but through bolt for safety if you have have to. _________________ Bob Austin

Finally got out and took a few pics of our Mini Jacker. They are in our "Projects" album. Here's a preview.

What I am trying to do is find a location for the kicker that i use on the tender. Not to troll with the C-dory. Last year when we were enjoying the San Juans I spent way too much time moving it about the cockpit and would like to find a different solution. |

Chris asked:

My Garelick is through-bolted mounted through the transom. I never take the 9.9hp kicker off the Garelick bracket - no worries, no hesitations. There are numerous positions for raising & lowering the kicker via the bracket; and, in the complete up position, there are no worries regarding this bracket w/ kicker attached for trailering.

We keep the dinghy motor on the Garlick bracket--and use the davit to transfer to the dinghy--no bending over and risk of droping the motor.
I also keep a pad on the cockpit railing, which the dinghy motor can be clamped to, if I am using a larger kicker. I pad the lower unit with a scrap of carpet when the motor is inside of the cockpit mounted on the railing. (use on both the 25 and Tom Cat) |
