 |
|
| Has anyone used the Garelick 71074 stationary kicker bracket for clearance issues with Bennett 120 trim tabs. I have an 8hp Yamaha long shaft mounted on the port side. I know many people use the mini hacker, but I’m just looking at alternatives. Thanks in advance. |

The warning in the instructions would prevent me from using the 71074 bracket. I have used a similar horizontal mount bracket with a 2 stroke 3.5 hp Mercury, weight of 30#.
This (including the cap. letters) is from the installation instructions.

.
As far as the trim tab, all you have to do is to trim the kicker "up" or if necessary put a wedge under the mount on the transom, to be sure and clear the trim tab.
Another issue, is can you be sure that the non articulating/raise and lower bracket get the lower unit clear of the water/wake off the transom when boat is at various speeds?

| Thanks Bob. I didn’t catch that warning. I think I’ll look into just wedging it up a little before buying the Mini Jacker |

| I used the m ini-jacker and put some spacers between it and the transom. I have about 1/2" clearance between my kicker and the trim tab. You can look in my photo album in one of the nested albums regarding my kicker installation. Colby |

Cabelas has the mini jacker for $110 where Bob's is $195 so watch where you buy it. Big price difference.
