Tiller Assist Explained
Tiller Assist was developed to help tiller enthusiasts enjoy their time on the water. The primary issues/problems encountered while operating a tiller controlled outboard motor are resolved with Tiller Assist. It's a very simple yet effective system. The Tiller Assist system when engaged only uses 1.5 amps of power. You will not need an extra battery.
Problem: Extreme tiller handle torque while getting your boat on plane.
Problem: Tiller handle torque causes arm fatigue during long runs in rough conditions while not running your outboard in the "sweet spot".
Solution: Apply constant pressure to the momentary foot switch.
This action will close the hydraulic loop momentarily locking the tiller handle and removing all tiller handle torque until you release the pressure from the momentary switch. Release the momentary switch and steer.
Problem: Your mechanical friction device is ineffective. You've attempted to tighten it to prevent the engine from flopping around while trolling forward or back. It's either too tight or too loose. The engine flopping causes you to become off course while fighting and netting fish.
Solution: Partially closing the needle valve will restrict the flow of the fluid within the unit and will increase resistance in tiller handle. This will prevent the engine from flopping around. Tiller Assist adapts to your personal fishing style(s).
Problem: Outboard engine pivots to one side when trailering.
Solution: Fully close the infinitely variable needle valve. This will lock your engine in place.****Warning**** Remember to open the infinitely variable needle valve before unloading your boat. Failure to unlock your system could result into backing your boat into another vessel or fixed object.
