The high thrust model will push the boat better. The motors are designed to move sailboats and displacement hulls at a lower speed. I think the 9.9 has a 15 or 25 hp gear case with better gear ratios. They now have the clearance to run a bigger diameter, low pitch prop. This keeps the prop from cavitating and moves the boat better than a small prop with a lot of slippage. I have been looking for a used 9.9 four stroke for sometime...decided to buy brand new...Yamaha T9.9. Good luck. Ray

A 9.9 HP (High Thrust) will do you just fine. Ray

B/E. Thanks for the response...and your installation looks great. Hope mine turns out that good. Ray

The way I run them is the furthest back is the line closest to the tow board, then next one out comes closer to the boat and is in second position from the tow board, the next would be even closer to the boat and the third line down the tow line and so on. If you are running a horizontal rod holder system (3 rod holders), I would run the one on the left is the farthest out, the middle holder would be the second farthest out and the right holder would be the closet to the boat and last on the tow line. Otherwise, you will have many tangles. Ray

Big Easy. I am going through the same process. Is that an Adventure Marine outboard bracket? I am looking at that direction for mine. If so, do you like it? Any problems on the install? I plan on doing the same with the rubber boot through the transom with my kicker cables. Thanks for the response. Sorry Trolling82 for hijacking. Ray

Is this a handheld unit?

Musky....like the work. Sent an email to monticello sign. Thanks, Ray

PK....true..well, I hope it will be warm!

I feel your pain. I am awaiting for a yamaha 9.9 kicker....hoping it will arrive the first week of April.

Sold! Thanks, Ray

Ynot, You have a pm. Ray

One Cannon Mag 10 extendable boom downrigger with positive ion and auto stop for sale. This is not HS. It is in good working order, w/ no cracks or damage. I have not had a problem with this rigger. It comes with approx. 200 of stainless steel wire, rear mounted dual rod holder, swivel base and power cord. Price is $250. Local pickup or buyer to pay shipping.

How about helping another LOU fisherman out? Just a thought. So you know, I am not looking to buy one.

WWIV....I figured that, however, the last I knew it was a town launch and not the marinas launch....thought I would clarify that because the marina thinks otherwise (from what I have heard).

Town launch in Mandana...next to a marina...South of State Boat launch. Ray

You have a pm.

works good.

I have been searching for a yamaha T9.9 (first choice), but came across an 8Hp in my budget range. HM...do you carry a tank for your 9.9 or did you tap into the main fuel tank? Ray

I have a 24' Thompson hardtop and I am looking for a kicker to put on....question is what size. I have seen alot of similar boats that have 9.9 hp kickers. I have my eye on an 8hp four stroke...would that work? Thanks for the help. Ray

You have a pm.

LB. It is a Cannon EOS 40D. This is the older model....The newer model is the EOS 50D. A good camera truly makes the difference. Happy "Shooting"
