(Editors note I have one of these on my boat and can tell you they are an absolute necessity to help manage trolling motor control. You will find them on most pro angler boats as well. The following is the press release provided by the company. louie)
Heres a must-have product for your bow mounted electric motorIf youre a fisherman who owns one of the popular cable steer, foot control electric trolling motors, no doubt youve experienced the motor turning in unexpected directions, or having to fight the pedal to stay on course, especially on high speed settings. Just when you need the power the most, instead of going where you want it to, the trolling motor has a mind of its own.
The Troll Perfect product has a patented design to address the problem of trolling motor side to side torque steer and pedal kick back.
Troll Perfect will allow full use your trolling motor at all speed settings, even when fishing in high wind, waves and current. This is accomplished by applying tension between the trolling motors stationary and swivel shafts. The concept is much like adjusting the free spool on a baitcast reel, where you apply tension to the line spool to accommodate fishing conditions. And if you like, with Troll Perfect you will even be able to adjust your trolling motor so you can use the constant on switch to make turns or keep the front of the boat pointed in a specific direction.
Troll Perfect installation is fast and easy (less than 10 minutes), and requires no modification to your trolling motor. On the water adjustment of Troll Perfect is simple - all you need is turn the adjusting screw to suit your preference. Made in America, with a specialized polymer material, and featuring stainless steel hardware, Troll Perfect is designed to give years of service, and requires no lubrication or maintenance. There are Troll Perfect models to fit Minn Kota, MotorGuide, Tracker, and Prowler trolling motors. Internet price is $24.95, (thats less than the price of some imported crankbaits).
