I just received my Troll Master this week and will have it installed very soon. I took the advice of my dealer when I purchased my rig and went with the tiller model kicker. Big mistake for me.

While I have the bar connecting to the main motor so I can steer from the helm, it's just been too much effort (and very in-exacting with the speed) to keep stepping back to adjust the throttle on the kicker while trolling.

I am not a big troller, but would expect trolling to be a little less work than casting (or at least not MORE work). I have great expectations for my trolling future.

Do any of you guys have any experience with this product? Does it work ... as advertised????

Thanks,

Craig

Craig:

I run a Trollmaster on my kicker. Not digital, but "dial" and it works just fine. Still have to "shift" at the motor, but at least the steering and throttle control are at the helm which is 90% of the work.

Thanks Larry.

Yes, there is a dial, but they say it's "digital technology." My understanding is that once the unit is manually shifted from neutral, the Troll Master can control the rest. 90% of the work is good. Leaves more energy to remove the weeds from the lines...

The troll master is one of the greatest things I have on my boat! You will love it. Once the motor is in gear all you have to do is turn the little dial to the speed you want.
