Installing a Kicker Motor and Bracket on a 2001 16ft Dauntless Bostonwhaler

This particular bracket has a 9.5” vertical travel distance. In order to determine the proper mounting location I had to measure the distance between the upper inside edge of the motors’s mounting clamp to the anti-cavitation plate then subtract two inches. For this motor it was 15”- 2”= 13”+ 9.5” = 23.5”

I marked the total length (23.5”) on a stick and clamped it to the mounting board making sure it was flushed at the top. I aligned the bracket so that the bottom of the stick was 1” above the bottom of the transom and marked my holes with a sharpie making sure the bracket was level.

Thanks! I am confident I can handle mounting the kicker mount now, you da man!!

Thanks for this! I have the same boat, but it has the swim ladder on the other side. How did this work out for you? Looks like a long shaft kicker you hung on there?

Looks good I tried your link and for me it didn't work Johnne in Clallam Bay / Sekiu WA

Thanks for putting this video together. My Panther bracket cautions not to have the engine mounted while trailering. Do you trailer with your kicker engine? I have the exact same boat as yours. Nice boat!
