what are they thinking??? Rotax underboard motor

[MrShane]

Bob, you forgot to add kicker motor!

No kicker on my boat.  Don't need one - yet!  We'll see.

In about ‘17, maybe early ‘18, I put that Suzuki 9.9 EFI kicker on my boat.
Although it has electric start, it is considered a ‘battery-less’ EFI motor that also has a backup recoil rope starter on top of cowling.
Starts immediately with push button starter and twice I have fired it up with rope starter, once at Buckboard while running sonar/radio/electric riggers/and I was culling baby Macs so had livewell pump on all morning ( that is naughty, I know… ) and once in Good Hope Bay when I left some switches on over night on accident.
That little Zuke kicks out 12 amps.
Knowing I have a rope-start ‘EFI generator with prop’ bolted on to back of my boat has taken 100% fear of dead battery away.
Priceless.
Don’t forget to get iTroll also! ( Just make sure you turn it off overnight, haha).
Good luck with your boat also.
Hope to see your’s and Mike’s new boats on the water this year!!
