The Toon Kicker is made from powder-coated, quarter-inch 6061 aluminum plate, bent at a right angle. One surface is mounted to the aft deck of the boat, while the other extends downward and can accommodate a lifting motor bracket, which must be supplied by the boat owner. The unit is braced by an arm that extends forward to be bolted to the structure of the boat. The Toon Kicker can be mounted to port or starboard of the main motor, and a slotted backing plate for the brace makes it possible to fit the unit most boats. Witte said that kicker brackets from Pow’rTran, Garelick, Marine Tech and Panther will bolt up to the Toon Kicker, which is designed to support 120 pounds and an outboard up to 9.9 horsepower. The kicker motor can be steered via a tie rod to the anti-ventilation plate of the main motor. [links]
