Trolling speed control 2 stroke kicker

[JGranat]

Can anybody tell me if there is a way to add trolling speed control to a 2 stroke kicker motor?  I am new to this site, and have found zero on this topic in old topics. I have a 22-ft Starcraft Islander and I use a 15 horsepower Johnson two-stroke kicker I would like to add trolling speed control and steering if possible to this kicker. I have found very little on the internet other than troll Master does not make kits for two stroke motors, can someone please tell me why this is and is it possible to add steering control/precision speed control to a 2-stroke kicker motor?

That is what I am after for a 1993 Johnson 15 Hp 2 stroke.  The link posted doesn't not list one in it's applications

  I will contact and ask, thank you.

Someone mentioned on here that the only difference is the servo mounting bracket

That would be easy enough for me to fab up.  I missed that.  Thank you again!

So further research, none of these systems use any GPS feedback to control the speed like electric trolling motors do then?  If that is true, for me at least,  that sort of changes my course, I can get by with a manual remote throttle if I still have to monitor my speed and adjust it myself.  I think I misunderstood what these gizmos did in a kicker motor application.
