jimcr Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 My Marine dealer had an auction on saturday and I was hoping to pick up a couple of things, well just one, 2010 4 stroke 15 hp kicker. Now I just have to rig it on the boat. It should just bolt on having Power trim I shouldn't need a bracket. The only thing I am wondering about is the controls. Where to mount them and what kind should I use. I know I need a t-fitting for the fuel and a link for the steering, Does anyone know of a good place to buy controls? Should I buy a duel system or just install another control unit? Pictures will follow as I don't pick it up until Thursday , have to have the brakes replaced on my truck, rotors warped again , 2nd time in 5 months. Having almost 200 hours on the main motor this year I decided that I need a kicker, before I wear out my big motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjk984 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Are you lookimg for a full set of controls or just a trolling adjutment control box. I just insatlled a trolling box fron controll king. I allows me to make micro adjust. It will adjust 1/10 of a mile an hour (gps). Cabelas also has a trolling throttle controll they sell.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimcr Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 how was the auction? i was really disappointed i had to work. Looked like a lot of good stuff!They had a lot of trailers which went very reasonable, they also had a bunch of motors most were 75-250 hp , I only stayed until I got the kicker .They had five and they all went for about 1950-2100. all the motors were new but one, full warranty too.I'm sure it lasted for at least 3 hours . Way in the back of the lot they had Milwaukee's old Fire and rescue boat. Now that would make a great fishing boat!!! just have to remove the extra plumbing. I had a wedding to attend, and the service was very short , I was 10min late and missed the service. and my Wife was pissed!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the control king be enough to use on the motor without a set of controls? I will find out on thursday when I pick it up. I really don't want to have another throttle control box . how do most guys do this?It has its own power trim and alternator but I am thinking of putting it on its own battery. I know I have options just have to find them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrenalin Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Jim, let me know if you need a speed control for it I have a trollmaster for that exact motor. We were actually just talking about selling it and some other stuff from the old boat. This thing is sweet. It works as a reastat and has infinite throttle control.

jimcr Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 I think they had 1 and it went for 2700 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjk984 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I have a troll master not a control king. The control box is about 4''x7''. and has a dial and a coulple of buttons. and a digital display. Go to their web site and they have a ton of info about them. I have my kicker tied to the main motor with an esay steer bar. it works ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
