OK guys, we have a small dilemma :whistling:

I was wandering why Strayvector changed the kicker to a Honda when his other post was a Mercury. The rules state "no edits". With the edit HE IS CORRECT!
Do we give it to him OR, I will take the posts that have 3 correct and pose one easy question to arrive at the winner.

In fairness I must get a majority consensus. The guys that have three correct must make this decision by majority or we go to a playoff. Excluding this post by Strayvector, they are...

I'd just like to know what a kicker motor is *edit* and when do you use it instead of the trolling motor?

Check post #30 above

Brian

A kicker motor, is used for trolling at low speeds

<-- I saw that but you also said its a small motor on the back of the boat and not the trolling motor you see in the picture mounted on the front.

What I'd like to know (since I love boats, but have never owned one myself) is when do you use which motor.

 

[Roy R. Frush]

Roy R. Frush - you did not mention the make of motors - sorry!

No problem. My guesses benefitted from all the additional clues. Unfortunately, I didn't read the original questions carefully!

Thanks for the contest, and congrats to the eventual winner!

The kicker motor, the name it is known by, is a small motor on the transom, next to your main motor that you use for trolling at low speeds. It uses very little gas so you can troll around for hours. The electric motor on the bow you use in shallow water, usually when fishing for bass in the reeds. It makes no noise and allows you to maneuver very close to the bank.

Thanks Brian!! :thumbs:

 

[AVB]

I can't tell you how to run your contest.

I would suggest you either have a play off since Strayvector would already qualify for that or split the winings. JMHO.

The rules state "no edits".

We don't have consensus!

One question, closest to the number is the winner!

The picture in the first post was taken at Lake Powell, May 2006,
what date in May? ???

Brian

 

[AVB]

Gotta go with Memorial Day weekend so I'll say May 28th. Good luck to everyone else.

 

[CgarDan]

I am just curious how this works.

Lund website lists the 1850 Tyree as having 3 models: 2 have 200HP motor and one has 260HP

Do you have an older model that came with 230 HP at that point ?

 

[hojadepuro]

I will go earlier in the month. How about the 15th. Thanks for the contest Brian! I don't know if my humi can handle another surprise from you! I will hope though.
