My TR-1 worked and this last week would not power on. Might be power on/off button. I have had no real luck with help other than Facebook. Shop in Portland said $185 an hour to diagnose but no parts. Portland shop will install Reactor 40 for $4,200. Have heard Reactor 40 great and others nothing but issues. Local shop told me they refuse to work on Reactor 40 and shop they knew of quit installing it due to customers having so many issues. Seems it is either good or none stop bad. I ordered a replacement button if that doesn't work I will have to figure out installing the Reactor 40. Our 2005 Alumaweld Stryker is a pain to troll off the kicker. Really wears us out because the boat wonders left and right.

The main problem we had was the throttle control losing connection. We relocated it away from any heat source. In other words it would work and once the motor heated up it would lose connection. We think that's the problem. But time will tell. Tech support from Garmin said only a single source connection to the spark plug. We had a small digital hour meter on the spark plug and we removed it. But my best guess is its wire heats up and causes the issue.
