Whats 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

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.

Make you an adjustable one, maybe 6.5 isnt too much.

You may have to weld some more plate to the side of the block.

hope you get the jist of it.

Thanks Woodiebuster
i totally get that since thats one of my jobs is to draw plans. guess ill have to figure out locations of the holes so i have one hole in the handle to keep it strong.
