Kicker Motor Remote Throttle

[Captain PartyMarty]

Hey Guy's

I want to add remote throttle control to my Kicker motor next year.

I have looked at the trollmaster and itroll systems they seem to have mixed review. Anybody here try https://trollsmarter.com/

components and remotes look good.

It does looks good. Certainly not cheap but seems to combine the best things of both of the other brands. I personally like the trollmaster pro 3+ I think is what I have, no hunt mode, but the new remote looks great. I bought mine off eBay.

A member on here was looking to develop/sell one if you search.

Don’t get hung up on hunt mode. I have it on my itroll and don’t use it as the environment is constantly changing and it only really works on a windless day.

I upgraded this year to the Trollmaster Pro Angler series and purchased a spare remote as well, for emergency backup purposes.

Overall a very simple wireless install and I'm finding that these new remotes don't eat batteries like other members have noted on the older units.

It doesn't have the hunt mode per se, but it does have 4 strike mode speed profile settings, that bumps up regular trolling speeds for a set duration of time, with the effect of hopefully triggering a strike.

I should add that these new Pro Angler remotes are compatible with the older Trollmaster wireless units...

I’m torn between running the wired version properly through the conduit already on my boat, which should be a really clean installation, or doing the easier way with the latest version of the wireless remote.

I’m just waiting till they offer the wireless version of the itroll. I’m on a wait list. Soon as that comes up, I’m jumping on it.

Seems there is a recent recall on the trollmaster

If I interpret this recall correctly, I believe it only applies to revised hardware installation instructions to ensure that the servo cabling is not in direct contact or close proximity to the ignition coil/spark plug wires, as this may cause electrical interference issues resulting in erratic trolling speeds.
