Key Performance Features
-
Full Wireless Freedom: The compact, waterproof remote allows you to make minute steering adjustments from up to 50 feet away.
-
Variable Speed Steering: Features a "proportional" steering response—short taps on the remote move the motor in tiny increments, while holding the button down initiates a rapid, full-scale turn.
-
Intelligent Positioning: The system "remembers" the center position, allowing you to return the motor to a straight-ahead orientation with a single button press.
-
Auto-Trim Compatibility: Engineered to work seamlessly with most 8hp to 20hp kicker motors from Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, and Honda.
-
Low Profile Actuator: The steering unit is designed to be compact, minimizing interference with your main engine’s movement or swim platforms.

Installation & Usage Tips
-
No Fluid, No Cables: Because this is an electronic system, there are no hydraulic lines to bleed or steering cables to grease. This makes it significantly easier to install as a DIY project compared to traditional "autopilot" kicker setups.
-
Power Connection: For the best performance, wire the system directly to your house battery with an inline fuse. This ensures the high-torque motor receives consistent voltage during heavy steering loads.
-
Safety Tether: Always use the included remote lanyard. While the remote is waterproof and floats, losing it in the middle of a trolling run can make maneuvering the kicker difficult without manual intervention.
Improve control, comfort, and efficiency on the water with the TAILFIN Remote Kicker Steering System – 8001, a trusted solution for serious anglers and boaters who rely on their kicker motor.
