If you are in the market for a quality LIGHT handle extension this is your product.

I knew of Joe from the Gheenoe Forum, called him and got his voice mail, hung up, he called me back asking if he could be of service, told him what I was after and we chatted, he had one made up, put it in a box and was waiting on my to get home and PayPal him, I got it in 2 days by UPS from Tampa.

Factory handle with a 4' deck


30" TillerPillar




the handles are made for your motors grip, it is a tight slip fit before you tighten up the screws

I got the 24" tiller pillar on the Hog Island.  Works great.  Pricey, but very functional.

I got the min-kota with a hose clamp and some black tape.

$35 more would have got you one that weighs half pound and not done $$$ damage to your handle assy.

Would you like me to bring mine to meeting tonight ?

David, do you still have the Tiller Pillar and how's it been working for you? Thinking about upgraging my black tape and hose clamp job..

Get one! I've had mine for about 5 years now and it looks just like the day I bought it. I take mine off and on each time because when I'm running down the interstate and I leave it on it bounces up and down then eventually the handle ends up backwards behind motor. I do have a older two stroke Mercury so your handle may be stiffer and stay put. I put some grease on the inside so it slides on and off the grip easily and the grease helps it to slide all the way on the grip.

Good to hear. I guess I'll have to part with the eye sore I have now.
