Thanks for explaining the ease of the 90 hp tiller when properly trimmed. Most people who talk tiller don't explain the trim tab anode with the clarity which you did.

My current 1775 Pro Guide has more room than my old 20’ console boat.

Thanks Dave! Yes the trim tab anode really helps with torque pressure - even on a console

Great video Chas! Speaking of which, Purdue football needs to get back to the Tiller lifestyle!

How slow can you get the big motor down to when trolling? Always curious of that.

Excellent summary of advantages of a tiller boat. You sound like an old "spoonplugger" talking about feeling the bottom with your lure and making hairpin turns to follow the weed line. And it's not the boat that follows the weed line; it's the lure that should follow it. Thank you for *not * saying "coWnsole". It is a console.

You’re right on the money man! Well said. Lure follows the weed line. The boat allows this to happen.

Love my 1890 Pro V Tiller

Love the idea of a tiller. I live over by Lake Michigan where Salmon trolling in 2+ foot waves is not uncommon. If you were to let go of the tiller while trolling, how does it track? Will the waves make it want to pivot? Is there any way to lock the motor down so turning is a bit stiffer?

There is a tension lever that you can lock it down with.

Yes, Jordan there is an easy to use tension knob that you can tighten as needed for less or more movement. If I tighten it a bit, and would let go...it would not move. Even when it is loose it does not really move much at all. I will do a video on this for you this season - in heavy waves.

Love the idea of the tiller. I'm over in the Great Lakes where salmon trolling in 2+ foot waves isn't uncommon. If you were to let go of the tiller in large waves (when trolling), how does it track? Do waves want to push it back and forth? Is there a way to lock the motor down so it doesn't turn as easy?

If I were on the Great Lakes I would go with hydraulic steering so you could lock it. But regardless, the 895T tracks very well in heavy waves. It rides super strong in chop!

I fish Erie with a 90 tiller. It took me two seasons before I broke down and got a Uflex ZTF system.

I thought it was interesting where you. Have your electronics mounted can you tell us about it
