I have a Tohatsu 6 hp Sail Pro model kicker mounted directly to the port side of my 1999 Alert 17. The Tohatsu 6 hp weighs 59 lbs and when you get the Sail Pro model an alternator and a high thrust propeller are standard equipment. This motor is a great motor for trolling and pushes my boat 6.1 mph top speed.When adding a kicker motor IMO try to stay with as light a motor as you can. I have a Yamaha F70 and the Tohatsu 6 hp for a total of 319 lbs and it is perfect.
