Mounting a kicker on "older" bracket (1993 2320)

[SBH2OMan]

Browsing through all the various threads on mounting kickers, it seems that I might be the only one wanting to mount a kicker on a 2320 with the "old style" narrow bracket....

Can anyone provide some suggestions on how to best mount a kicker with this setup? I also want a swim step and dive ladder, but I assume they can just go on the port side while the kicker goes on the starboard side...

Thanks in advance for any help - this whole "engine on a bracket" thing is new to me..

Could you make a platform using Starboard across the bracket and secured to the transom then add a ladder to one side and the kicker on the other side?

My plan at this point is to move the swim step/ladder to the starboard side and then put a Garelick mount on the port side. Now my question is more about appropriate motor choice; I don't imagine being able to get something like an "EZ STeer" linkage between the main and the kicker because the main is so much farther back than the kicker...

I dont have steering linkage on my kicker.

How responsive is the steering in choppy water or a beam wind just using the "dead main" as the rudder? (nothing extreme, just less than ideal conditions).

I have not used it
After I bought the boat, I removed it to prevent theft and plan to reinstall it next month
