Default Kicker Motor Mount

I have a 2001 2101 Striper with an Outboard, I want to mount my Yamaha T8 25" Kicker on it. Does any one know of a Fixed mount Brackett.
I don't need a Adjustable Motor Brackett like a Garelick. Thanks

Best bet is to have a shop build one from aluminum. Your boat will require somewhat of a custom bracket with the angles set correctly for the kicker.

I bought one that was prefabbed from Tristate marine here in Nampa. Very well made and solid. I have my T8 hanging on it.

Friends don't let friends buy Garelick Brackets.

Doesn't the GradyWhite Dealer offer a nice alum kicker mount that is two plates with a section of 8" alum pipe welded between them???

GRUPYGROUPER......who made that mount??

Remote Troll makes a very good bracket. I have one on my Striper 1851.

I saw a few on this site. My issue is the trim tabs stick out 9 inches from the transom so the bracket needs to stick out to for the shaft to clear. It really sucks, Not sure why seaswirl mounted them there.

I had the same problem with the trim tabs you do so your best option is to make one yourself or have a machine shop make one for you if you don't have a welder. I bought stainless at a scrap yard and made one for less than $100 in material and 1 full day of cutting/welding/drilling. The results - 13 lbs of extra weight, but indestructible compares to anything you can buy.

This is a high thrust bracket from Adventure Marine . I put one on my boat this fall with a Yamaha T8.

No bounce and its rock solid its made out of aluminum and is powder coated to boot.
