Kicker motor on 265 Express

[4Grady]

Anyone ever see or put a trolling motor on a 265 Express???

I've looked at soooooo many 265 Express's my eyes are about to cross but I have yet to see one with a trolling motor. Is there a good reason why I've never seen one with a kicker motor? Clue me in, why no kicker motors on these things??????

i dont have a kicker on mine because the 2010 250 optimax's troll really nice and are designed for it. I can troll down to 1.2 knots on one engine which is perfect for salmon fishing here in washington.

I don't think I have ever seen a 265 with a kicker motor. I don't do a lot of slow trolling with my boat, but when I do I usually just troll on one engine.

I would say it's because they come stock with a kicker. I can only think of two reasons for a kicker, backup in case your primary motor fails and second, to troll. In either case twin 225 or 250 outboards are kickers for one-another. Maybe if you needed to troll at 0.5 kts but besides that I don't see the point.
