 Longer steering handle or modify grab bar?Running a GD 1656 with a MB 27 Mini. Ran it for the first time Tuesday and was very pleased. Only issue is I can't reach the grab bar while running the motor. The boat was set up for running LT's not SD's. I can either angle the grab bar back towards me or get a longer steering handle for the motor. I'm thinking longer steering handle is the way to go. I'll have to lengthen the throttle cable also, but that will be easy.
