I picked up a used 9.9 honda for my kicker motor. It runs fantastic. It came off a boat that just had a gas tank with inline bulb. I can't use this setup as my fuel line has to go thru the splash well and the bulb is way to close to the out board for me to reach. No problem on rerouting everything except for fuel line size. They had 5/16 coming from the tank to the bulb and then after the bulb had it necked down to 1/4 going into the motor. The majority of the line is 5/16 but about 18" is 1/4. My question is should I just run all 1/4 inch or all 5/16 or try to combine the 2. combining the 2 would be difficult in my application because I need to have the bulb close to the tank and they had it close to the motor. Does it even matter what size the fuel line is? Thanks

So I have to mount my transducer on the project boat which is an aluminum 22ft Sylvan converted offshore model. Would be nice not to have to drill holes in the transom. Anyone have any experience with the different types of stick and peel or epoxy glue on style transducer mounting plates? I'm looking to mount an Airmar P66 to the boat and one of these mounting plates depending on the responses I get. Thanks everyone.

Unfortunately the Honda kicker I got came with controls and has no external shifter. I did but a throttle master for it though to control my speed to 0.1 mph increments

I've done a little research and Honda cables and Mercs aren't interchangable. Thanks anyway

Thats good to hear thanks

I purchased a used Honda 9.9hp for my 22ft project boat. Motor runs great and it came with throttle/shifter controls but the cables to reach the kicker motor on my boat are short. This is only my second boat that will have throttle/shifter controls all my other boats were tillers. Is it possible to get longer cables and replace the existing ones or do I have to buy a whole new throttle/shifter control box with the correct lengthen cables.

Shakemsman, You said it for sure. Still not sure how I'm going to mount this kicker as the transom on this boat I'm building is curved on both ends and poses a challenge as to a limited area that I can mount it without interfering with the main motor. I know there are a bunch of options for mounting and steering a kicker. I think i might just go to a Marina up around Lake Ontario and have them install it as I feel they see the most of this stuff. Im in CT and wouldn't bring my boat to any of the marinas around here for a kicker install. All the marinas around here are Saltwater places and I've never seen a kicker on a boat down here in the salt so I feel they wouldn't have the best solutions to a problem like this

Thanks guys. I have some thinking and planning to do now

I have a line on a used Honda 9.9 4 stroke for 1000$ Not sure of the year but looks newer. My question is that it's a tiller control and I'm going to want to convert it over to a dial throttle for a kicker and hook it up to my main motor for steering. Any issues using this motor for a kicker or getting a kit to convert it from a tiller to remote. thanks
