Anyone attempted to extend the tiller of a Mercury/Mariner/Tohatsu 3.3?
I've been out doing sea trials with my new hard dinghy. The main snag is that with just me on board the bow goes right up in the air so I need to be able to sit amidships to balance. In my old rubber duck I could stand in the middle and steer by leaning but with this one, heeling makes no difference - she continues to run straight.
The problem with extending the tiller is that the throttle control is mounted on the body of the motor so I'd need to get back to the transom to adjust the throttle.
Any ideas?
