[QUOTE="ppine, post: 455888, member: 22555"] Use of a kicker motor on a larger boat is never going to cause the boat to plane. The water level will never be as low as the bottom of the hull. I carefully measured the distance from the top of the transom to the bottom of the hull on my Jetcraft 19. I dutifully bought a used long shaft Honda. When running the engine, especially from the tiller, the cavitation plate is a good 10-12 inches under water. For a main engine this distance is important. For a kicker motor you just have to get in the vicinity. [/QUOTE]
