Two adults one has boater certificate other doesn't....boater with certificate drives boat to point "A"...sets up a kicker motor for fishing Salmon or trolling... can the boater with no certificate drive boat with the kicker motor which has horsepower less than 25 on and main motor off?

I don't think so. Reading the RSA above it states under 16 so I would say it is one of those quirks in NH law, or something intensionally designed to get everyone 16 and over to obtain a safe boating certificate.
If the kicker motor is an electric trolling motor my GUESS is it would be okay since I would classify that more as a thruster than an engine.
