Seem like the safest option is to ask a welder to fabricate a aluminum
kicker bracket that is pointing upward by 6" and rearward by 8" (or
something like that). There will be many compound angles involved.

Just for giggles, I measured an older version I have of this bracket.

Mine, in it's fully "Up" position, points upward about 11" (from the
top of its mounting plate) and back about 9". Not much diff from what
you need. And it has adjustments for compound angles. With it, you
can lower it to any one of several levels and run it from there. The
new ones have two different "vertical travel distance" models to
choose from. Might be worth a second look.

I know... I know... But the retractable version of motor bracket that
you have mentioned is either solidly-built-but-expensive or cheap-but-
looks-flimsy. I cannot have it both cheap and solidly built. The one
that I have in mind is going to be welded and is not retractable --
meaning no moving parts. This means it will be very solid. And I
have connection at work to have it welded (I will need to get the
material and cut it myself); therefore, I am sure I can get it done at
a reasonable cost.

Moreover, I intend to get the kicker that has the power tilt option,
and that function will be overlapping with the "retractable" function
of the retractable motor bracket.

Therefore, I think a non-retractable version is probably a better
choice for me. Thanks for the suggestion though.
