blahblahduchunter Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Okay guys here goes. I am looking at putting a 9.9 merc pro kicker on the back of my Baha 231 gle. I going to do it right and have it all remote so i can control everything from the helm. Do you guys have any suggestions for stuff to make sure i do that you have learned through trial and error?
MY2SONS Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I'm looking at adding a kicker on my Baha Cruiser 277 GLE too with the same idea that you have. I'm interested in hearing any input from anyone who has done this as well.
jay d Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 add a troll master digitall throttle control,it will let you control your speed by 1 0r 2 10ths of a mile per hour.simple install too:grin:
Daybreak Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I second the "Troll Master Digital"! Its a must have for a Kicker motor and allow you to be very precise with your speed.Dont go cheap on the bracket. Save money in other places, but buy the best bracket you can find and make sure its rated for well ABOVE what you plan to hang on it.
blahblahduchunter Posted February 19, 2010 Author Posted February 19, 2010 just went to Happy Days in Port Clinton and got everything ordered. I ended up getting a new 2007 Yamaha 9.9 high thrust from them for $2400. Bass Pro just wouldn't deal any on the merc. pro-kicker and you dont get bass pro reward points when you buy a motor or boat from them. which kind of ticked me off. But anyways i am getting the kicker installed and out the door for $4750. That includes the panther mounting bracket and the panther t4 electro steer.todd
A-Fishy-Anado Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Did you get the troll master throttle control along with it?
blahblahduchunter Posted February 20, 2010 Author Posted February 20, 2010 Didnt get the troll master yet. i am looking into it and they are not installing till i can get it out of storage in april. hopefully i can bribe the wife a little more and get it.
A-Fishy-Anado Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 The troll master is priceless. I installed an auto pilot at the same time and i think the throttle control is just as valuable as the AP.
