Having my kicker mount finally failing yesterday on a very bumpy dirt
road has given me the excuse to buy a good mount but I am not sure if
any non-fixed mount will work. Just about any mount that drops the
kicker into the water hangs ir out where it is a long lever arm that
can bounce up and down prone to failure after lots of bouncing.
Suggestions?

Sliding jack plate that can be lowered by hand and raised and locked with
cleves pin and clip for a lock.

Vertical drawer bottom of sorts that slides on the transom. The kicker
can't be that heavy.

Design it and fabricate it or have it fabricated.
