Got it installed on my Honda 9.9 with remote, electric start, and power tilt. The instructions were not very good because it was not for this exact motor. I needed to remove the starter assembly from the top of the motor along with the parts box. Once I did this I was able to access the secondary hole to tap for the servo bracket. It sounds like it was difficult , but it wasn't . Another thing was that the original throttle bracket is not replaced but left in place and the new one is installed over it. Got it tested and await my first sea trial with it.

Got it yesterday and will install it this weekend!

thanks everyone... I ordered the Itroll

Gotcha I use the key fob controller around my neck and hardly ever touch the main unit

Is the throttle smooth or jerky?

I looked at that also , but I like the dial used on Itroll. Trollsmarter doesn't use one.

I'm tired of attempting to get any consistent speed with my honda kicker and have decided to get something to control it more accurately. I've decided that the Itroll appears to be what I'm looking for. Could anyone that actually uses one please give me your honest opinion of this unit both good and bad. I'm also curious whether the hunt mode is worth the price. Thanks

OK I did the break in and swapped the prop to the 9.25 x 11. It did not work out very well. 4500 rpm and 8.5 knots. I ordered the 9.25 x 9 and will try it out next week

I have a 9.9 on an 18’ Duckworth and get 6.2 mph so you’re doing well at nearly 10mph. I don’t have it hooked up to a tac so I don’t know the rpms but it’s full throttle.

I would like to get some opinions on running braid on my canon downriggers. I have stx mag 10s. Was wondering will the auto stop work. And what size braid would i go with? Thanks

My Mag 5 needs the wire so that the electric current is disrupted once it hits the surface of the water stopping the reel. If yours is like mine the answer is no for the auto stop feature.

I have a 18ft aluminum and I want to install electric downriggers. Can I connect to the starting battery,  or should I install a separate battery to run the riggers.

 

Right now I have a battery that starts the engine and runs the electronics and pumps and a separate battery for the trolling motor.

 

Thank you 

Dave

As long as the motor you're using for trolling charges that battery you'll be fine.

Looks like a salmon. This might help.

Well got the worst of news today. Major scoring on #3 cylinder plus all three gas pumps need to be replaced.

So at the rebuild or repower cross road. I know where my head is. So rebuild with pumps is looking like $5400. Repower is $9000-10000.

So with that being said any opinions?

The boat is a 2003 aluminum fish and ski in vg condition other wise. Any opinions on Merc vs Yamaha? 

90-115hp range. I bought this rig a couple of years ago.Any and all options/opinions are appreciated. 

 

 

What kind of warranty will you get from the rebuild?

Looking forward to learning and sharing with fellow fishermen. Finally retired and plan on doing some fishing!

Make sure you order the right shaft length otherwise you'll be very disappointed...
