Purchased my 2004 Adventure recently. The kicker bracket is a Garlick EEZ-In . I have no idea how well it works because operation is too stiff to tell. I do know one thing - when the Yam 9.9 LS is in up position the tiller hits aft edge of transom gunnel. I’m hoping my attempt to insert photo here will work as it tells the story.
My question is what bracket would others suggest I replace this with and any experience with mounting method would also be greatly appreciated?
Also wondering what experience others have with athwartship trim issues on 208 that has a battery on each side and kicker on port? I have not had boat out in offshore conditions yet but in planning to use the port side live well -as soon as albacore arrive off Cape Mendocino - I am curious, again, about athwartship trim impacts with this setup on way out ( on way home I hope to have a catch in starboard side fish/icebox)?
