• Tohatsu Kicker Motor -...
Kicker motor installation with steering and throttle control. Tohatsu 8HP on a 1995 Starcraft 17' Fishmaster boat. Steering tied into main motor. Manual throttle cable control added for helm control.
Genius... thanks for this gift!
That is genius with the cable.
Kevin the next time i watched the new shi ft t cable video it was fine i fish lake erie alot and finallyut a kicker motor on 20hp tohatsu and now im going to get shift and thorottle controls very good video thank you Ted
20 HP kicker, must have a big boat. I fish Lake Ontario and Erie later in the summer when the walleye make their way down to this end of the lake.
An excellent video, with your genius imagination, it would be outstanding that you produce more videos and upload them to your channel. This video was extremely helpful and very easy to understand your presentation. Thank you sincerely for sharing your video.
Thank you so much. Glad you liked it.
Great job on the custom install and the video. Definitely inspirational. Thanks for sharing.
Nice fabrication ideas - thanks for sharing this video. It is well done without excess noise, and camera movement distractions
really nice setup. I have something similar in mind. Im going to try to get the shifter working too though
Thanks. I did add shift control later. Update link is above.
Love your video gave me ideas. I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out how to hook up a throttle cable to mine. I have a little 4 hp Suzuki and I’ve got it on my 22 foot sailboat and it’s just impossible to try to control the boat trying to hang off the back you just can’t do it I’m looking just to have control of the boat from up top. Awesome idea how you did yours.
Thank you for sharing Kevin. I'm definitely going to use the throttle cable setup you showed.
Really nice video. Great job on the throttle control device.....makes it especially enjoyable since you did it yourself.
I am wanting to install throttle control on my kicker mtr and I love your idea. I will be looking to see if I can do the same on my 1996 19' Hewscraft with a honda 7.5hp. thank you for posting this.
GENIUS 👏🏻
Smart man. A lot of great thoughts throughout the video. Cheers.
thanks for the great tutorial ! I will do the same.
that is a great idea. thanks for sharing.
Nice job making the pull up arm!
Amazing I enjoy every minute of your video.
Awesome
Wow! What a great and genius idea! Thank you for sharing it!
Definitely like and subscribe!
Great st up well done
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Thank You for sharing
Thanks for sharing. Good info for sure. I’ve got a 1996 fisher same length and going to add a kicker Kohatsu. Was not sure on size because I’m a troller primarily and need to go between 1 -3 plus mph. If you are got 2 mph at idle then I’m thinking a 6 hp fits my needs to get closer to 1 at idle.
You are probably right. I troll Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and generally 2 mph is the slowest I would go so works well for me. Could probably get a little slower speed if I lowered the idle speed and tilted it all the way down but still wouldn't get it down to 1 mph.
Yeah. You are fishing the big boy lakes and the weather it brings. I’m fishing lakes and reservoirs in California for all trout and land locked salmon. Sometimes they can have serious lock jaw and slow small presentation is the only thing that works.
Creative 👌🏻
That is pretty good setup for throttle. Love it thanks
Have you looked at high thrust prop for that yet? Let u troll slower and in emergency will actually push easier
Wow you're a genius. This was the best video so easy to understand. Just one question do you tilt up big motor while using small motor and how can you steer if large one is up, off and not in water.?? Tia
Thank you. Big motor stays down while using kicker motor. It does help with steering. Kicker motor is tilted up if using the main motor as it is not good to force water though it when not in use and can cause Hydrolock.
Very good video!!! My question is does that throttle cable let you dial your speed in better. I have a Mercury and use the throttle on the tiller. It is horrible. The response is not good.
Thanks.
Thank you. Yes the response is very good on the throttle control. I generally troll anywhere from 2 mph to 3 mph depending on what I am fishing for. I can adjust speed easily while watching the GPS speed at the console and don't have to go back and forth to the motor. I can adjust speed by as low as 0.1 mph increments by nudging the control up or down. Generally it holds the speed very constantly and I only have to adjust it when changing direction to compensate for waves, current and wind direction. Tohatsu actually makes the Mercury kicker motors so set up would probably be very similar.
Great video thanks, definitely going this route. I have a similar boat. Is that a short or long shaft kicker. Edit, saw you already answered someone else
Where did you get the black ends for your cables i can make all the cable clamps myself erie i lve in the central basin ashtabula srea it is the best. Thanks again
I am on the Canadian side, never fished the USA side. At the time it was just an old cable connector I had laying around. Since then I ordered the proper fittings. I am sure available at any bicycle store but I ordered mine from here. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003495258576.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.18.5ce11802iblSdQ
Kevin I can't get the shift video on my tablet can you suggest why the other video wors very good
Thank you and no idea why it won't play on your tablet. Tried mine and seems to play. Maybe try a different device or computer.
Kevin where did you get the black ends that go on the end of your brake cable sheath

Do you not have to hold any release lever to tilt you motor up?
Hi. Not to lift up as it only locks when in reverse gear but to lower the unit when tilted up there is a knob on the side that needs to be pushed back so I use a paint roller handle I had laying around and bent it to shape. Can be seen laying on the back gunnel at 5 minute mark of the video.
Este video me encanto es increiblemente detallado e ingenioso usted me ha dado un blue print para lo que quiero hacer con mi bote mil gracias
Gracias y me alegro de que te haya resultado útil.
@@kevinnixon4248 👍
very injewnewative w/ the throttle. is the kickers prop. at the same height as the main engines prop?
No the props are at different heights because the boat hull is not flat across. Kicker motor cavitation plate is at bottom of hull.
Great video! I have a 96 Superfisherman 1700. What length kicker did you use?
Thanks. I have a long shaft 20" and the cavitation plate lines up perfect with the bottom of the hull. Pretty sure the Fishmaster and Superfisherman are the same hull design.
Really cool ideas and definitely storing them for my own project. Are you still shifting the kicker manually or did you rig up something for that as well?
Still shifting at the kicker but that will be my next project for it in the spring. Still working on how I will do that.
Not sure if your still interested but added shift control. link above in the description
@@kevinnixon4248 Thanks for the update!
Hi do you have a video how you did the throttle in more detail thanks
No just that. Sorry
do you have a link for the bicycle cable you used ??
I had no idea how much I would need so i bought this. You can probably find shorter length if you search.www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B082Y77712/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@kevinnixon4248 Do you have a complete parts list for the remote throttle? I am in Canada as well so it would be easy for me to replicate your set-up. Thanks for any help!
Did you rig anything to shift gears?
I did later and posted an update. ruclips.net/video/X4NSdrwNeqY/видео.html
Where did you source your throttle lever. I can only find a side mount which won’t suit my setup
Hi. I have since changed it to a DIY as I added shift control as well. They are pretty easily found if you google Lawnmower Throttle Control. No idea where you are located but bought mine here www.princessauto.com/en/convertible-throttle-control/product/PA0008673014

Perfect thanks. I'm in southern Ontario. That's one of my favorite stores
So am I. Not sure where you are but since I changed mine you can have it if your near me and want it. Cambridge ON.
what did you change it to?? @@kevinnixon4248
A 9.9 twin cylinder May enable you to troll slower as they will idle slower than the single cylinder engines.
8HP is twin cylinder, pretty much same motor as 9.9 with different carb.
@@kevinnixon42489.9 is actually different bigger block and efi.
8-9.8hp are same though
Can you send me a link? Where did you bought the Rod?
From Amazon www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B007G2JA3I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@kevinnixon4248 Make sure you read the reviews. Apparently it is junk.
@@johnr.johnston5808 Ran it for 2 years so far works great no issues at all
How long was your throttle cable length?
I ran it through the boat and then cut it so not sure the exact length but about 17 feet.
Cool. Thanks for that. Do you have a link for the inner cable you used. I cant find anything longer than 8 feet. I found the outer shield you used on amazon. Just cant find the inner stainless steel cable that runs in side it
@@HondaRyder2002 I used a wire called Aircraft Cable I bought from the local TSC store by the foot but if you google Aircraft Cable it is available in other places. Just make sure you get a gauge that will slide through the jacket
Awsome. Thanks for the help.. And great job in your project and video
