Kicker steering on a boat that has a tiller main motor

I'm wondering if there is anyone out there that has this setup. I talked to the dealer and they don't recommend connecting the kicker to the main motor because the main motor is a tiller. What would your recommendations be to steer the kicker. If I set it up as a tiller model, I would not be able to effectively reach the tiller handle of the kicker because of the position of the seat. I would have to keep constantly getting up to steer the kicker. dstank13 Posted 3/23/2018 8:03 PM (#116512 - in reply to #116483) Subject: RE: Kicker steering on a boat that has a tiller main motor Member Posts: 21 If you have a trolling motor on the boat that has auto pilot use that to steer and the kicker as the power. thats all i use.

I don't like to fight my wheel especially hooked to an SHO without digital power steering. The TailFin has been awesome so far!
