Tiller Extension

Hi all,

I find I get a sore arm after steering for a while, partly because I have reach back to the tiller. My Question is whether there are extensions that are commercially available?

Engine is a Mercury 30 2-stroke.

Cheers,

Pat

Cheers guys!

I like the idea for the gear shift, so obvious once you mention it!

PVC pipe is easy Dylan, but hard to 'bling' up............

Do you think a telescopic one is worth it so I can steer while standing up, like low speed running over shallows etc?
