Best thing I have added to my boat in years!
Posted: Fri May 27, 2011 6:23 pmThis spring I added a TrollMaster Pro 2 to my kicker motor. My honda 8hp has run like a champ for several years, but the trottle control left a lot to be desired. It was tough to get to the speed I wanted and keep it there, and the minute the wind or currents changed it was back to the back of the boat and try to get it right again. It also tended to slow when the trottle twist handle would slip a little due to the vibration of the engine. I finally broke down and bought the Pro 2, dont have the cash for a TR1, and installed it. Install was pretty easy, and I did have to buy a couple of servo power extensions from the hobby store since I take my kicker off and store in the garage. Have used it a couple of times now and it is fantastic! Very fine adjustment, the throttle holds speed and the instant idle when you get a fish is nice. This combined with the EZ steer I already had makes running the kicker a breeze while sitting on my fat butt at the helm.
