Re: kawaski 43 hp two stroke why? if you need a mud motor, just go all the way and get rid of the outboard. what are you trying to do that hasnt been doable with a "troller..kicker..fan ..16×8 diamondback airboat"? Using a surface drive for a kicker sounds like a big pain in the ass. Any pics of the boat/setup you want to use it on?
(I'm not being a dick here.... just trying to figure out what your needs are)

Re: kawaski 43 hp two stroke Why a big outboard and a little? My uncle had a kicker motor on his offshore boat..... He said it was incase the big motors don't fire up we can still limp home.

Re: kawaski 43 hp two stroke People use them to troll. It's a lot more fuel efficient and saves a ton of wear and tear on the big motor.
