[Rhodes22-list] outboard shifter lever extension

[Weiss, Robert L]

Not that it helps with this solution, but this is why I bought a Mercury 8hp outboard which has the shift built into the tiller handle. Glad you have found a workable solution. I, too, have issues with getting into the slip when the winds aren't favorable within the marina. But I still need more practice with keeping up greater speed to control steering and putting the motor in reverse. I just don't like approaching the dock too fast!

Nice work Graham!  I was hoping others would chime in with their solutions.
My current setup makes the controls accessible enough, but not as easily
accessible as your setup.  My lever extension races almost to the height of
the outboard tiller in the vertical position.  I suppose that I could add
both an outboard tiller extension and an additional removable shifter lever
extension to my setup, but I'm going to stick with the current configuration
for now.  Importantly, it got positive reviews from my wife when she used it
for getting in and out of the slip.

Bob, it would be great if you could share photos of your setup as that comes
together.
