short shaft for a kicker?

[vogel451]

I have a nice 4 stroke 9.9 merc sitting in my basement. Ive had intentions of putting it on my boat as a kicker for trolling.  But its a short shaft motor.  Im ready to purchase a 4 stroke kicker bracket, but I need to know if a short shaft motor is gonna do the job.

Also Ive been looking at Panther and Garalick Brand kicker brackets.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated thanks

get a adjustable one and you can use anything.

If you fish any big water,like lake ontario, i have seen power heads go under the waves, if that motor is runing when that happens, the eng, will suckup the water, not good.?

you can turn a short into a long they add a spline.Talk to a good mechanic.
