Itroll control

[swnoel]

I'm tired of attempting to get any consistent speed with my honda kicker and have decided to get something to control it more accurately. I've decided that the Itroll appears to be what I'm looking for. Could anyone that actually uses one please give me your honest opinion of this unit both good and bad. I'm also curious whether the hunt mode is worth the price. Thanks

I looked at that also , but I like the dial used on Itroll. Trollsmarter doesn't use one.

Gotcha I use the key fob controller around my neck and hardly ever touch the main unit

iTroll is awesome, you will love it. I did not upgrade to the Hunt mode option so I can’t speak to that. I do love the speed control being so precise.  I had the Troll Master on my last boat and liked that but not as much as I like the iTroll. 
 

If you are located on the west end of Ontario, PM me and I can get you contact info for local rep.

Is the throttle smooth or jerky?

[jmyers8]

Mine is smooth it clicks up in .25 increments and also has a jog mode that you can speed up or slow down quickly for surges or stalls by just holding plus or minus

I had an itroll on my Yamaha kicker and it was awesome, I loved it. No complaints at all. I also had hunt mode and for me it wasn’t worth it. You have to reprogram it every time conditions change like wind and current speeds pushing the boat. I could never remember how to do it quickly and when I finally did, it never caught me anymore fish than just turning the boat.

Got it yesterday and will install it this weekend!

Got it installed on my Honda 9.9 with remote, electric start, and power tilt. The instructions were not very good because it was not for this exact motor. I needed to remove the starter assembly from the top of the motor along with the parts box. Once I did this I was able to access the secondary hole to tap for the servo bracket. It sounds like it was difficult , but it wasn't . Another thing was that the original throttle bracket is not replaced but left in place and the new one is installed over it. Got it tested and await my first sea trial with it.
