Tiller handle

[Ronniewhite]

Can I get a longer tiller handle for a 2000 Johnson 25hp 3cylinder and how do I go about getting one if possible?

Amazon...

Is there much to changing them out?

How about an aftermarket tiller extension (probably Amazon)?

 

[Ronniewhite]

I seen them on there but are they just for steering? The problem is when I'm by myself the boat just goes straight up and won't plane out. So if I can get far enough forward it will plane out.

Get the articulated kind, preferably with two joints. The extension clamps to the steering grip to allow you to adjust speed.

How do they turn the throttle?

Prefer my hand on the tiller for feedback and control.

Well I ordered one expendable 18-24inch. I guess I will see how it works. Once I get it up I will be able to get back in the seat. I just need it to get it up out of the water instead of almost flipping the boat lol.

Move tilt pin all the way Forward. Move fuel tank/battery/beer/anchor to front of boat. If not good enough, add a planing fin..whaletail.
Good luck!

Pin forward tank is up as far as it will go but it just slides back when the boat goes up. The motor is massive for a 25hp. It's a 2000 25hp 3cylinder long shaft. Very heavy and so am I lol.

Like it goes up so high I can't see nothing but boat if a good wind came up I'm sure it would flip. Lol. Works awesome when 2 ppl are in it , very fast.

May want to install steering console and remote controls -- good project.

 

[Ronniewhite]

I don't fish that often by myself so if that extension works, good if not oh well.
