When I aquired my boat it came with a 4hp mariner on the original fixed motor mount. I have found that when motoring I have to reach back a ways to hold the tiller which feels rather ackward (compared to the little fishing boats that I grew up with). Do any of you use an extension on your outboard tiller? Should I stop whining and just get used to it? Here's hoping for an early ice-out! Dale Williams Staples, MN M-15 #185 "Sophie Mae"
West Marine, Boat U.S., etc., carry a telescoping outboard tiller/throttle extension that attaches with no special tools and can be mounted/removed with each use: I own one. It has a rubber grip and feels just like the actual tiller/throttle itself: Very convenient. I forget the name, but I remember the product was reasonably priced. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale Williams" <dalew@brainerd.net> To: "mongomery boats" <montgomery_boats@lists.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 1:58 PM Subject: M_Boats: outboard tiller When I aquired my boat it came with a 4hp mariner on the original fixed motor mount.
