Default Throttle control on kicker

I was on Erie today and I think I want to connect a bar to the 250 and steer on Erie, while still having tiller control for the reservoirs I fish.
Is there anything out there that just gives good throttle control? I noticed today that my kicker/tiller has a hard time staying at the correct RPM to stay at 1.7 to 1.9 mph.
Thanks,
Sin

Look into the itroll system. Infinite rpm adjustment with the turn of a knob, completely waterproof control box, and idle/resume button or engine speed. Another $100 unlocks the hunt mode, which automatically varies engine rpm to vary trolling speed.

I have the Pro, but will likely upgrade to the Pro3 + so I can control it from anywhere in the boat. its a pain to be tethered to the front seat. I like to run the whole boat from the back seat without getting up. getting lazy in my old age!

This sounds perfect, especially if I can flip back to complete tiller control.
I'm not a fan of anything remote, except the T.V.

I second the itrol system. I’ve had them on my last three boats, no issues and the hunt mode is a great feature!

i would recommend Itroll. I've used it for years and it has been rock solid.

Best part of this product their support. Joel's support is second to none!
