I fish out of a 16' stick steer. I like a tiller type TM. once I set it straight, I use the big motor to steer. I also use a Big Foot button in the negative wire to keep from having to twist the handle to stop or go. DP

The big motor can help sometimes, it stirs up a lot of food and bait fish. 4 stroke motors should are fine, because they idle so smooth. 2 Stokes load up a lot, my

I bought a "trolling mode" switch with my 140 Suzuki 4 stroke. It allows me to adjust my RPM up or down 50 rpm with each click when the motor is in gear at idle. I can maintain 1.7-1.8mph all day with it. The Terrova/RipTide is a much better option and I'd much rather put the hours on the RipTide than the Suzuki.
I used a Troll-o-matic plate on my 75 Yamaha on my Horizon 1860 and steered with my Terrova on my previous boat. I had an eye-screw below my steering wheel and would use a bungee cord to lock the steering wheel in straight position.

my 30 hp etec has a trolling feature on it....its got an rpm adjuster on it to help dial in exact speed needed...it will also lock into place so that the motor wont turn.....I lock the motor into place dial in the rpms and then use my Trolling motor to steer the boat (dont even turn the TM on)
