Intellesteer Type R

[sir-vivor]

Well after going a season without my intellesteer as the fob (Remote) failed for the second time, I went to Intellesteer and was told there is a change to a new fob (Remote) and receiver. I could get mine for a reduced price of 150 bucks. So I said no I'll stay with the old fob (Remote) which I was advised is no longer avail. Great so their product has a major fault in my opinion and order to fix it I have to shell out another 150 bucks ( when I originally paid 700 bucks for what I felt was a superior product with solid back up ...boy was I fooled) U would think if Scotty had this problem they'd get u to shell out another 150 bucks , Oh , I forgot Scotty has class. What do u guys think, is it fair for me and others to be forced into shelling out another 150 to get intellesteer faulty design resolved or should we just kiss our 700 bucks away ????

I just bought a 2008 Boston whaler that has the intellisteer type r system for my kicker. The cable was rusted solid so I just got a new cable and the unit will only run one way so I cannot load the new cable- was this the issue you had with the remote. I am trying to understand if its a unit issue or a remote issue? cheers
