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'
 
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.
 
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.
