Added a 15 hp Kicker trolling motor this weekend with Bob Machine Kicker Jac hydraulic bracket. Installation wasn’t bad at all, I fit the hydraulic pump under the port rear hatch battery box to keep it from the weather and run the switch to the console.

Looks like a nice install. What was the need to add the kicker? Were you not able to idle/troll slow enough?
 
Yes + help keeping the hours off the big engines and carbon build up since I usually troll all day @ 600 rpm.
