I purchased a 16.5' Polarkraft with a 60hp Yamaha - the previous owner had a 2.3hp kicker (on kicker plate) on as well for trolling northern inland lakes.
Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on a kicker that size for Erie? Is that enough power for trolling or should I be looking for something in the 4-5hp range?
I also don't want something too heavy for the transom either.
Thanks!
