Kicker steering options

[Gashole]

Hey SaintSix
I installed the intellisteer system about 5 years ago with no luck. Worked a couple of times, but more times than I care to remember it left me using my inboard to troll. Every time I took it back because it didn't work they gave me a new board or control that steered backwards. I upgraded to a remote system purchasing a second remote at the point of install, they both work for approximately 20 minutes and then only steered to the right (perrrrrrfect!!!!!!). When it did work the response time was a problem with wind or distractions, it took all my attention. I called it a day and pulled it out of my boat and put it in the garbage.

I found a mechanical system from a manufacturer in the states that works well, great response time and keeps me under the cover and out of the rain. I have been using it for about 2 seasons and I know it will work when it is called on every time next year. Mounted it behind my seat so I can stand or sit and see both rods. Might work for you?

I've also got the RemoteTroll unit like BigBruce. Seems to work great for me. Not many options out there that combine both the steering and a bracket into one unit.

If you have a swim platform or need a braket that looks like a nice option.

RemoteTroll make a transom mount unit as well.
