MrShane,
I agree with you and the "generator" comment. My 9.9 Merc ProKicker on my new Tracker ProGuide175 makes me feel a whole lot more comfortable should your batteries ever go dead. I too have electric start on my kicker but it has a pull rope too, if needed. Getting to shore is not a big problem at smaller reservoirs, but on Bear Lake, the Gorge, or even Willard Bay it can become a life-threatening situation. Plus I"m not a fan of trying to "troll" at 2.5mph with an electric motor in the first place.
