Mounting a kicker on an extended hull

I am running yamalube 2-m....the reservoirs are very accessible, thanks for the time tunnels

Is there room for one between the pod and the trim tab ? Would have to be on one of those outboard auxiliary brackets that can be lifted up when not in use. The only possible justification would be for saving fuel when used for trolling for long periods, the 225 will be thirsty at any speed. You just lock the "kicker" and steer with the "dead" engine(s).

This is a workable solution although it may sound crude. I have been on a boat so equipped and the small engine used far less fuel than the big one at slow speed with no danger of fouled plugs on the big two stroke.
