Yes, if you look at where the main motor is, I suspect the transom carries all the way across at that height. I don't know if the kicker would even be reachable at the height. I am hoping it can made strong enough to support one,I was given steer rod set up so I could run the kicker steering from the wheel, I was unable to get it installed this weekend and hope too next.I am unable to put it in the water until I receive my paperwork anyways correct? I sent that off Tuesday
