Many thanks to you all for your replies. The reason I was considering the hydraulic rout rather than the mechanical rout was that I want to operate the kicker with the main motor raised, and I couldn't see any way to do this with a mechanical linkage - see photo.

Panther also makes an electric steering devices that can steer your kicker by a push button controller. I saw one in use up on Lake Superior this summer. The throttle was also controlled by the same unit. Pretty cool!
I just use an arm between the main and the Yamaha 9.9 on my boat. It's simple and works well for trolling. When I get back to Florida after the Mississippi Gathering I plan on ordering the Trollmaster 3+ from Panther to control the speed. I have a tiller on my 9.9 and it will be possible to change speeds from anywhere on the boat. I run at hull speed a lot and I'll be able to give the 200 Yamaha some time off. _________________ Tom and Joyce Schulke
