My son having fun in the 1971 Aztec

I think that he likes the boat!

 

But this is the real boss of the boat....

Has anyone had success mounting a auxiliary kicker (91/2hp) bracket on the
transom of the 1978 IMP aztec. The transom angles in so there is not a flat surface to mount a traditional bracket. Has anyone modified a bracket deisgn that I can copy. I have always depended on a "kicker" and have been saved many times because of it. However, the transom of my 1978 20' Imp aztec does not appear to have enough "meat" to handle a kicker without some modification. I have owned the boat for a year and I love it. I get a lot of looks from envious fishermen. Also, my boat does list to the right I brought trim tabs but have not installed them yet.

IMP Transom

the transom on your boat is 2 5/8" thick marine grade ply,with glass on both sides,depends on what you call a "kicker" but im sure it would hold a 15 -20 hp

the kicker is a 9.9 4 stroke honda long shaft. It is the angle of the transom that has me concerned. It is good to know that the transom is thick enough to handle this motor.
Thanks
Bill

 

You can use a couple of wedges, made from a good hardwood, to compensate for the angle of the transom. there are also many different adjustable outboard trolling motor brackets available, that could compensate for the angle.
Me I would use a standard bracket, tillted back to the right angle by oak wedges, through bolted to the transom. I would make the holes in the wedges on the tight side, and coat the wedges in epoxy resin when installed.
good luck with your project

Is there anyone out there who can help me find a transom platform for a 1978 20' aztec imp. Were there any original platforms for this model? I am thinking of installing a platform and then mounting a kicker on the platform. Would solve two problems for me.i.e., swim, bait tank, aux motor, and boarding spot.

 

I have one that may work,I was going to use it on my AZTEC, but I also have the original ladder, and dont need both. Send me your e-mail address, ill send you pics
