Kicker motor...
After looking at kren's photo in the blackmouth thread, I'm thinking about switching my kicker over to that side of the boat. I think I would would be more comfortable sitting in the center of the boat since I prefer to run the kicker with my left hand.
Do any of you guy's have a preferce on one side or the other, or it doesn't matter to you?

Mine is always on the port side of the boat since I am left handed .....

Re: Kicker motor...
why not hook the two motors up together so they can be steered with the wheel? That's how my boat is configured.

Re: Kicker motor...
it's for people who are inclined to steer from the front of the boat, seated.

the only reason i have the kicker on the port side of my hewes is to balance the weight, if i had an open boat i would have it on the Starboard side so i could run it with my right hand.

I'd love to sit up front while trolling, but I don't think they have a thingamajiggy that'll let you do that with a kicker to an I/O jet...so, it's on the port side because that's the way Northriver set it up...opposite the driver for weight distribution I guess. If anyone ever constructs one of those, let me know!

i keep mine on driver side, reason is im always driving and usually have passengers and keeps weight balanced a little better.

Re: Kicker motor...
My motors are always deployed on both sides of my boats 

'Course, they take a little more effort to run than the usual kicker motor...but get waaaaayyyy better gas mileage

Pussy. I bet you use a heater when it's colder than 55 out, too, huh?
