If I were going to spend $317.00, I would just buy a regular motor mount and quick release bracket as has been discussed in the kicker motor section. Someday you may want a kicker mounted and the mount will be paid for. When not in use, you can remove the mount from the bracket.
Just my 2 cents.

We just picked up a long shaft Honda 2 horse. Anyone have great ideas for the storage of the outboard on a CD22? I love the mounting bracket one can buy for a CD25, but alas there is no rail on a CD22 for that process. I do have the rail that runs slightly above the engines - anyone figured out how to mount something to this? Question I really don't want to have it hanging out in the cockpit while underway or even think about laying it down on the roof. Embarrased Something a bit more sturdy would be nice - maybe even a troller mount? I have twin Hondas in the back now.
Thanks brats for the help.





I made a bracket out of 3/8 alu & a piece of oak2X4, bolted it to the front of the splashwell on the Starboard Wink side

You seem to have the same motor combination as I do. I mounted my Honda 2 on a motor mount attached the starboard transom of Kazoo II. You can see a good picture of this in my album

The little 2 horse is going to be used strictly for the dink. I might try, on a really calm day with no current to use it as a trolling (but I have no grandiose ideas it will be usable as a troller Cry ). Based off all the pics and post I'm thinking a trolling bracket on the transom will work best. Keep the ideas coming if anyone has any others.... Smile Thumbs Up Idea

Bryrick,

I think you are going to be disappoined with the Honda 2 as a trolling motor. I put mine on the back of my Gregor, and found the centrifugal clutch disengages down at the lower rpms that you need for trolling slowly. You may need to drag a sea sock or bucket. I think the old direct drive would have been better for fishing, but I was told you can not get them in the long shaft.

Yeah - no grand idea to use as a troller for the cd22. I'm just open to what options are out there for storage.
