Kicker setup on 22

I made a custom kicker mount that raised it to the correct height, kept it away from the trip tabs, and compensated for the angle of the transom (~14 degrees). This allows the kicker to tilt up higher when not in use and keeps it from dragging in the wash when I am heavily loaded. I added a photo in my album 'Nowhere Fast'
 
Karl,

What material did you use for your custom kicker mount? It looks great!
 
The plate is made from two pieces of 3/4" hardwood plywood epoxied together and the angled mounts are cut from a cedar 2x6. It is painted with Petit Easypoxy that I tried to tint to match the gel coat (but over did it!). It is through bolted to the transom.
 
Got it. It looks very solid. Good job and thanks for the details and with sharing.
 
Make sure your kicker has a good 'lock' when in the up position. Don't want to be bombing along on the main, hit a bump (wave) and the kicker drops down.

Martin.
