I have installed the Bennett M120 tabs on my 2001 C Dory Cruiser and this has created an issue with my kicker - a Mercury 9.9. I bought a Garelick 71074 bracket ( simple fixed bracket) and am about to install it.

I would like to hear from someone who has put in the same system. I believe there may be a few owners with this combination.

I have the same tabs. Many (me too) have used a fixed bracket called a mini-jacker. I have the swim step to port. Main is a Yamaha 80h.p. and the kicker is a Yamaha 15h.p. A few pics in my album show that it just barely clears the tabs by a few inches. I have a shim block under the kicker clamp to get it just right so the anti-ventalation plate clears the tab. Overall it works good. I sit on the lazarett and steer with my left foot. Or sit on a cushion in the middle and lean on the top of the main in the tilted position.

If I remember, I hung the kicker as far in the corner to clear the main and still have good steerage first. Then did the tab install.
