How to install kicker on 20' 208 Adventure

https://adventuremarine.ca/product/high-thrust-outboard-motor-bracket/ This is the bracket I have on my 208. Get the long leg 25"? T 8 or 9. I have remote trim tilt and controls at the helm. Mine is mounted on the starboard side because I did not want to rearrange the ladder. If mounted correctly it will clear the water when raised for running. Would recommend the fixed as the motor takes a fair bit of rattle and bang when towing.

Trapper, do you have a picture of your kicker bracket mounted on your 208? I have a 97 208 with trim tabs and the Adventure fixed kicker bracket with a Yamaha 9.9 25" shaft. I am concerned that the bracket will hit the trim tab hydraulic cylinder before I can get the kicker low enough in the water.
 
Hank, will try and get one for you. pm me with your email address, as I seem to still have a problem with getting pics onto GG

Here's how I did mine. Had the bracket custom made out of 1/4" steel. I had a panther aluminum bracket fail on me. Corner bends sheared on it. Steel all the way. Had a local marine dealer do the install. Decided to move the swim bracket to balance weight. Upper bolts for the bracket go through above the back seat. Bottom are in the space below. I think they had to remove the fuel filter to do the job.

How do I get my release handle by the rub rail? Thinking of cutting the rubber out and putting a piece of plastic 1” underneath mounting plate for extra clearance ideas??????

Huh? I think we need a better description of what you're talking about. Actually, pictures would be good, too.
