 Shorter longtail handleWhats your opinion on making the handle shorter for fishing? And does anyone have ideas or pics similar to the handle that go-devil puts on their surface drives which allows it to be adjusted for height

Re: Shorter longtail handle Shorter tiller = more tiller tourque.
The long shaft has to have a long tiller to somewhat compensate and give you leverage. Now, if you want to shorten it and make it adjustable it could be done, but you will have to build a bracket to the side of the motor. _________________ CSM Custom 18x42 Battleship with a 36 PD beating you to the hole My Rig (Old Motor) viewtopic.php?f=5&t=45193 (New Motor) viewtopic.php?f=5&t=54733 Stumps Fear Me |

Re: Shorter longtail handle Thanks Woodiebuster
