| Hello all,
Another question: What size electric kicker would you recommend for a CM21? Its only use I hope would be in and around the dock area.
The manual recommmends max of 6hp for gas.

| I have used a 30lb thrust trolling motor on my J-24 and it does just fine... I would say at least 24Lb.. but 30 would be perfect!  | |

| We have also been using the 3.5 2 stroke on our CM21 this spring and that is doing fine. Not much weight, and self contained fuel tank keeps me from having to deal with a gas can!
