Finally arrived last week, It was almost a 2 month wait once I ordered it from GPS Central for them to get this released from Garmin April 2019 as it's a new model to replace the TR-1 Gold .
Uses a NMEA 2000 interface to control the system along with your chart plotter , servo motor through the tilt tube to actuate steering , a heading sensor and an ECU controller , the electronic throttle actuator motor is cable drive coupled to the kicker throttle, hand held remote floats and has a cradle holder .
No pump or Hyd. fluid , low amp draw electrically controlled, only maintenance is the tilt tube actuator arm lubrication which is seasonal.
Has a bunch of cables included, I just need to get my NMEA 2000 backbone in first .
Still has the preset trolling patterns zig ,zag etc. and the GPS hold position function the TR-1 had so it should function the same , now I just need to get my boat out of storage to get it installed .
So what do you guys think..
