 Custom Tiller Handle for GT. Its about time someone makes a tiller handle for a GT that is contoured to move the handle and throttle to the left of center. Inevitably when one rides alone, the sweet spot for performance place ones self in the center line of of the boat. This puts the handle in my arm pit. I would like to be able to move it over to the left. Anyone care to talk to me about manufacturing one. I have an idea.

Re: Custom Tiller Handle for GT. How tall are you? I am 6'2" and the tiller handle rides right below my waist line so when I stand up it sits there and yes it could be contoured slightly which would be nice but I drive on the starboard side of the boat and I think the added contour would make me reach to much...

Re: Custom Tiller Handle for GT. I drive sitting down. Either way it would be nice to be able to move the tiller left or right.

Re: Custom Tiller Handle for GT. I'm thinking adjustable, kinda like an ice cream maker crank handle. One could swivel it into position and lock it.
