adjustable steering

[smitch6]

has onyone seen or done an adjustable steering wheel column like you get in modern cars these days?

just a thought that when your cruising and relaxing in the seat it'd be nice to be able to bring the steering wheel a bit closer to save reaching too far
but obviously when manoeuvring you want to lean forward and pay more attention

They fit them to some of the Botnia Targa's, have a look on their website.

I have one. Very useful on a sports boat when changing from seated to standing positions as can tilt about 70 deg. Plenty makes about. Mine is an old Teleflex unit.

Do a google search on Teleflex Tilt Steering or Seastar Tilt steering. Most hits will be US based. For UK search Ultraflex and Aquafax tilt steering. Different mechanisms for different class boats and cable types and hydraulic

I have tilting wheels on the fly and downstairs. No fore/aft movement, but the tilt is useful.
