Panther T4 remote looks cheap but stands up well. The wireless remote is fussy re changing battery Do not over tighten the screw!! I have been using mine for a couple of years with no issues.I used one on my last boat it worked great, I used a seastar cylinder instead of the goetz one just because the one in the kits did not look like the greatest quality. Didn't like running more hydraulic hoses out the back of my hull.
. Currently I have a powered helm for my kicker, (came with the boat) it works well but is a little slow.
My buddy bought a panther electro steer and I really like it. Fast turning, simple system, but the remote looks and feels cheap.
I hated mine. There was a store on the island that sold parts but from what I remembered it was about $275 shipped for a new handle, which you'll need in short order.I know this is a. Old thread but I’m looking into this system but can’t find any details or anyone who sells them. Curious if someone on Vancouver island or the mainland has them and what ballpark they retail for.
Thanks.
Thanks for the reply. Maybe the intelesteer would be the better route.I hated mine. There was a store on the island that sold parts but from what I remembered it was about $275 shipped for a new handle, which you'll need in short order.
I believe this is the consensus. Good luck with it. I should also that after adding a rear station with real controls it changed my boat completley. As "easy" as a remote is, it just doesn't compare to a wheel for control.Thanks for the reply. Maybe the intelesteer would be the better route.
