My dad has the Panther steering system on his boat and he has had his issues with it. On one occasion the bracket connecting the kicker to the steering unit rattled loose while trolling. We also had a number of occasions when we turned to motor and it would not turn back the other direction. Believe me that is not something you want to happen when you have a full spread of lines out! When it is working good it is a nice unit, especially when there are only one or two guys on the boat, but personally I think I would rather have the EZ Steer.
