Kicker motor advice

Just recently put a 9.8 merc on the back of my Lowes 170 to troll for crappie. My concern is not trailering
but how to run with my big motor. How do you store/tilt up your kicker. Mercury advises blocking the motor
up. Just wondering how anyone else deals with this. ............Just looking to avoid broken equipment and
or bad accidents.

Thanks in advance,

Post up some pics of how you mounted the kicker and maybe someone can offer suggestions.

X2. Put some pics on lets see what you have going on there
