Author	Topic:   kicker for a Newtauk
DaveS	posted 12-16-2002 11:07 AM ET (US)         I was thinking about purchasing Merc 4-5hp kicker for my Newtauk. I think I'm going to go with a 4 stroke but haven't totally eliminated the 2 strokes yet. I know there was talk about a 3.3 merc being used a kicker before and people seemed to have good results with it, but does anyone have this setup with the 4 stroke? Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again! DaveS
