I installed an iTroll in the spring and have used it extensively this summer with my Yamaha kicker. I am really happy with it, the ability to vary speed at the helm with a turn of the dial and be able to get the trolling speed precisely without using the tiller throttle is awesome! I am just starting to use its hunt feature - a program to automatically vary speeds, I think it's likely trigger more strikes given what happens when we make turns etc at a steady speed. Anyway this device may be something to consider if you are looking for kicker speed controls.
