Kicker Motors

When I bought my Crestliner it had a Mercury 9.9 4-stroke kicker on it. I tried to use it several time while pulling cranks and never could keep my speed constant so I checked around on some of the walleye boards and they all seem to use Trollmasters. So I decided if I was going to keep using it to pull cranks I had to do something so I ordered one last week. Got it installed yesterday and tried it out just before dark and it's looks like it's going to be the cat's meow. I can get as low as 1.0 mph and as fast as 3+ mph in .10 increments. It also has an idle button which drop you back to idle and when you push it again it goes back to your original setting. It has a full throttle button so can speed up for turns and when you release it you go back to your original setting.

Yep

I don't know all that I understand about that troll master, so far.:confused:

Don't worry Major you got this base covered with your sporty new Terrova that you have on order.

Mine is actually a Controllking. It came in yesterday and I installed it last night. I will try it out Thursday.

Maj...the way I understand it , its basically a electronic throttle control module that more precisely controlls your idle speeds on a small kicker motor. I think thats whats happening anyway.

Basically it is just a small servo motor that hooks to the throttle assembly with a linkage arm (wire). It allows you to control the speed of the kicker motor more precisely. I have been using a screwdriver to adjust the idle screww and this worked well but I was afraid I was going to eventually take a plunge and get tangled in all the crankbaits.

that would be bad
