TJ what does bieng a walleye pro have to do with hydraulic power steering on a smaller tiller setup? Also Mercury hydraulic power steering is not available on smaller motors until Jan 2008 check the website! The Mertens system on these bigger motors is available for Yammy too! Many 620 tillers out there with the power steering my friend. And the smart craft is another OPTION the vts is STANDARD for the smaller yammy tillers! Look at both handles if you can't see the difference theirs obviosly a problem. Also who's playing catch up? I have a 06 90 yammy tiller have you looked at a 06 mercury tiller handle? Big Difference
Mr. mskyhntr, what does being a walleye pro have to do with this. Ummm...alot. These guys use there boats a lot. Some of these pros only troll, for an example, Ron Seelhoff. He does this pretty much tournament after tournament. He's had tremendous success. I did not say the Mertens system was not available to Yammies, no where in my post did I say that. I know they are. Personally, having the Smart Craft as an option, is in my opinion better. Some people don't want to pay the $1500-$2500 or whatever it costs for this. Some people just don't have the need nor the desire to pay the extra for it. However, the Smart Craft system does A LOT more than just raise your rpm's in small increments. The Smart Craft system is basically a brain to the outboard. With this system, it can give readouts that only could be known to a mechanic with a hooked up computer to the outboard. Now like what Mr. Worrall stated, you may think the Yammies handle is better, but your one person, not everyone thinks that. I'm partial to Mercury, your obviously partial to Yamaha, nothing wrong with that. But trying to say it's the only motor out there for trolling is wrong. Mercs do a fine job. It's all in preference.
