Fishmaster 196 kicker bracket

[Jeremy Goodison]

Wonder if my tilt Is greater due to 25" shaft??
I got exactly what you have dimmensionslly. If you can picture the tiller handle hitting splash well , in your 3rd picture down is my issue.
Thank you for the pictures

Mine is along shaft also! So if you go with a non tiller motor it will clear?

Looking like that is the only option...... Essentially go with the remote steer kicker and take off the ski bar.
When tubing trim all the way up and hook the ski bar back on.
Thanks for all the feed back

A cheaper option may be to remove the tiller handle and buy a troll master.

Have you looked at putting kicker on a "mini jack plate"?  T H Marine has one that moves kicker back 4" and up slightly- both would help tilt clearance.  Years ago I had similar issue on a Starcraft and made a bracket to move kicker up about an 1" that gave me clearance to tilt the kicker.  Price on the fixed jack plate is around $125 so a lot cheaper than a new kicker.

Sounds like an option

ended up going with the TH Marine mini Jack plate. It moved be backed just enough to get the full motion I needed. The bracket itself is a tank if anyone is looking for a fixed bracket.
