Kicker Question

[Yooperparker]

I purchased a used Yamaha 4 stroke 15 hp kicker with a 20” shaft. The local outboard shop said this motor would not work and I would need a 25” shaft on my 2520 SL. Was hoping someone out there could point me towards a bracket that would work for the 20” shaft or do I need to buy another motor with 25” shaft?

Does your 2520SL have the Armstrong bracket? If so, then I know for a fact you need a 25" kicker. I don't know about a regular transom.

I found a 25” kicker so I will just sell my 20” online. It is a notched transom, but after talking to the outboard shop, he advised me I would want as much prop in the water as possible for all the trolling up here on Lake Michigan.
