PERCHER Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) I was a little bored today so I decided to install my Troll Master.I ended up with this after talking to Slowpoke(Brian) and Fishindevil(Shawn) this fall.At the time they were a little expensive.So I had almost given up the plan when I received an email from Brain showing that Cabelas had them on for half price.They were all sold out except for the one that fits a Yamaha 9.9 High Thrust.Well luck was on my side because that's what my kicker is. So off to the grat outdoors to remove my kicker from the boat and bring it down to the work room.The install took about an hour and a half.It all fit great except for the motor bracket .But after a few fancy bends it was complete. With this I wont have to keep running to the back of the boat to adjust my speed and I will be able to return to the speed that was catching fish after going to an idle with just a press of the button. Anybody else run one of these.I would be interested in your opinions. Now all I have to do is wait for spring.

Sinker Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Thats a sweet set up. Do you know of any set ups similar to that, that would work on a 40 mariner tiller?? I'd love to have something to set my speed and just leave it. The way mine is now, I can't take my hand off the tiller...........I don't think there is anything like that though? Maybe its time to upgrade my engine......... Sinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icefisherman Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 You'll love it. I install one on my Yahama High Thurst last summer and can't believe I was trolling without it before. Mine is the new version though with the LCD screen (PRO III). Cheers, Ice Fisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medmart Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 That looks great Dan it will make it a lot easer for trolling can you get that unit for any size kicker? Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowPoke Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 That looks great Dan it will make it a lot easer for trollingcan you get that unit for any size kicker? Rob Probably every newer model and limited older models but I'm sure it could be adapted. I think model designation has most to do with bracket design - not positive.

PERCHER Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Yes I think your right on the bracket Brian.The one that came with my kit looked to be for an older model Yamaha.But with some time spent bending to change the angle so the cowl would fit it was a go.Other than that it's pretty simple to install.
