Sorry,the kicker bracket holdes a 9.9 Merc 4 stroke
I just put on an OMC bracket. They are now rediculously priced at around $700.00 hope it stands up. I have broken four brackets to date. The ocean is not kind to heavy kicker motors. Then there is the IMC hydraulic lift. I think it has a 25" lift and is around $1800.00.

Hi Time(pun)
I was thinking of that but the kicker would be in the water all the time when useing the big moter. I do not like my kicker in the water when traveling. Yosh

Why? you can tilt and lock your kicker in the "up" position.
and it would be out of the water.

Have a look at this link.One of the best brackets on the market. http://www.garelick.com/productsearch.php?pnumber=71091&subid=FB03
I've been using a CMC electric kicker bracket for two years now and I would hate to go back to a manual lift. The model I use is a PT35 good for up to 35 hp (I have a 9.9 4 stroke) very strong and dependable. Not expensive I paid about $400. http://www.cook-mfg.net/

The other thing to remember Yosh is that no moveable kicker bracket is to be used to carry the motor while trailering (as per the manufacturers instructions).
That said, we all do it, but if you are hitting the rougher roads, it is a good idea to put a restraining strap around the motor to take some of the stresses from bouncing off the bracket.
I added an extra eyelet (with a backing board inside the hull) and use a ratcheting strap from the holddown to the new eye to hold the motor tight to the hull.
Good Luck.

I’m assuming you have a long shaft kicker. With that said you are going to want to buy Garelick’s model 71091 the one with 15” of travel. The 15” of vertical travel will get your prop out of the water when your boat is on plane. Also the 15” of travel will get your cavitation plate below your hull giving you great propulsion. I hope this makes sense.
