    Remote Throttle Control
    by Jeff from Berry Creek, California on July 30, 2016
    If you use a kicker and like to fish, get this controller. The ability to push a button to reduce speed to net the fish and push the button to return to your desired speed is unreal! I use the power increase button to make turns when I have more than one pole out. Great device. J

    Motor Steering Connector Kit
    by Donelle from Kelowna, British Columbia on April 01, 2016
    I am very happy with the product I ordered. I works well and is very easy to use. It was shipped very quickly - I ordered it on a Sunday and by the 3rd it had already shipped across the USA and arrived at the Customs Broker warehouse for clearance. Amazing transit time in the USA for shipment. It took longer in Canada for me to receive my order once it was cleared - 11 days which doesn't say much for Canadian Postal service. I think the next time I order an item from this company I'm going to request UPS service as it is more reliable and efficient.

    by Lars from Kanata, Ontario on May 30, 2013
    Nice product, but I had issues when it came to shorten the iron rod I couldn't unscrew the "bolt" so I had to bend it more to fit between the motors. Otherwise great product.

    Great deal
    by Richard from Woodinville, Washington on October 15, 2012
    OK - first I have to say how AMAZED I am with the speed of shipping!! I ordered this on the 4th and it came on the 6th! Really? From IA to WA in 2 days with standard Priority Mail!?! That is awesome, they must have shipped it like 5min after I placed my order! The bracket works perfect to connect my 70hp Evinrude to my 8hp Mercury kicker. I was able to cut it to length install it in 20min or less and I was taking my time. This item also comes with quick disconnect spring loaded fittings, I almost ordered the set separately but I'm glad I didnt. You just pull the ends back and you can pop the bracket right off, leaving the connector arm on the motors so you can pop it back on in 2 seconds. I can tilt either or both motors fully up with the bracket connected. It turns the kicker with no slop at all and I can crank the main motor lock to lock. I havent gone out on the water yet but I already know it will work perfect. What a great deal. Thanks iBoats - I WILL be back!

    Happy Camper
    by Floyd from Vandergrift, Pennsylvania on July 12, 2011
    Purchased this item to assist in steering of my small 2 HP kicker motor. Super easy to attach the ball joint to the main engine steering arm. Also super easy to connect and disconnect the steering rod, from the steering arms of both engines and this is a great convenience. This thing works just as advertised and is a great asset in helping to steer "small" motors. About the only suggestion I could make would be to increase the size of if to 1/2 inch...3/8 inch, although very adequate for my application has a slight tendency to bend and may not be enough for larger kicker engines. I am very pleasaed with how it works so far...well worth the purchase price in function and ease of use.

    Perfect Solution
    by Jesse from Juneau, Alaska on September 13, 2017
    I had broken a similar connector (operator error) and was pleased to find these parts (without the connecting rod) available at a fair price. Perfect fit, perfect solution to a needed component when trolling the currents of the Inside Passage.

    Works perfectly
    by David from Lynnwood, Washington on July 29, 2011
    From the picture, I was expecting the rod to be included...should have read the description more closely! So I bought an aluminum rod at Home Depot, and threaded it myself...works great! Now my trolling motor is attached to my gas outboard, all controlled from the steering console! You get the pair of connectors.
