Yep, and I hear it smells like Big Foots d:eek:k! I have the old style panther, it works ok, but my 9.9 is not a high thrust so I only use it when the lake is like glass, otherwise waves and/or wind pushes me around or slows me down to much. once it gets a bit choppy its a pain to steer with the remote, I think it would be easier with the ez steer. I docked next to a guy with a 15 hp merc on the back of his Baha 277, he had the t4 on it and said it worked good. The ez steer is a tried and true setup, I would have run mine that way but I have a straight inboard so it just wasn't an option. good luck, hopefully someone else who has run both setups jumps in here.
