Add a Minn Kota Raptor off of a 9.9 Suzuki kicker?

Featured Replies

  • Super User

I have 2 Minn Kota Raptors on my Alumacraft Competitor 205 with a Suzuki 250hp on it.

However, I'm adding a 9.9 Suzuki kicker for trolling to the port side.

I bought 2 Minn Kota sandwich brackets to use with the kicker so that I could move the port side Raptor from the main motor to the kicker motor but the tech says he doesn't think it will install that way.

I have included a pic of what I'd like.


I'm also lookning at using Power Pole brackets or even a custom bracket.



I am in Central Minnesota and if anyone knows a custom metal fabricator who could help, that would work, too.



Any ideas on how to make this work?


Thanks in advance.

Never seen that done with 2 talons and a kicker. Usually two totally different types of fishermen who want talons vs who wants a kicker. Not to say it couldn't be done but you might be on the right track looking custom.

 

Most people on this site have never seen a kicker motor so you may have more luck somewhere like walleyecentral focused on northern fishing especially being in Minnesota.

Thank you. I actually did that first.

 

 

I happen to have the dual disease of being a lake trout/salmon (trolling, thus the kicker) and a bass fisherman (thus the need for the dual Raptors).

Sounds like you need two boats!
