TILLER EXTENSION FOR A 40 HP MERC

HOOSIERGRIZZ · Apr 21, 2016

I have an 18' Lowe Roughneck with a 40 hp tiller. I'd like to extend the tiller handle around 2' so I can steer while standing (at low speeds) so I can watch for obstructions better. Most of the ones I'm seeing look pretty cheap and say they are for engines under 15 hp.

If anyone's had the same problem, can you give me a reconmendation? Thanks for your time.

Upgraded to this:

More expensive, more stable, more durable, more better...
