Default T-8 kicker bracket Finished*photos*

Spent a 20 hour day last week towing up and back to Coos Bay to have this bracket custom made and picked up a t-8 at Y marine.
Its at the powder coater getting pretty. I'll update when its back. They did a sweet weld job. This baby is solid. Has inside ribs as well. Mark









I am happy with the powder coat job. Now I HAVE to go troll 10 hours to break the t-8 in. That means a mandatory 10 hours of pink meat fishing-not my favorite but I have to. Mark

Got any pictures of the 'ribs inside' that you mentioned? I'm wondering how the interior side mounted up.

Thx,
Brian

No photos but they added 2 ribs bent the top over in a brake wielded it closed so it was completly waterproof till I drilled the holes. The ribs are overkill I feel. Mark

Nice bracket. Give us a review of how it pushes your Whaler for trolling. Curious how it does with some wind out there. I'm on the brink of getting a kicker and want the 9.9, but wish it had Power Trim and Tilt.
