What is a “ProKicker” and how does it compare to a standard model?
The 9.9 and 15 ProKicker FourStrokes are outboards designed specifically as auxiliary trolling motors (often referred to as “kicker” motors). These unique outboards feature standard power tilt, high-thrust four-blade propellers, automatic self-centering straps (optional on remote-steer models) and unique decals designed to complement the main engine. The 9.9 ProKicker also features a BigFoot gearcase which includes stronger gears, bearings and shafts as well as a low 2.42:1 gear ratio for improved low-speed handling and best-in-class slow trolling speeds.
