[QUOTE="DiveLiberty, post: 442841, member: 22384"] Have been thinking a lot about how to fab up some sort of shifter extension for the outboard. Not a fan of having to reach back to the side of the motor to shift, especially when pulling up to the dock or the trailer. I'm shocked that there is nothing commercially available. I grabbed a tiller extension for steering/throttle. I'm surprised that there is nothing (at least that I've found) to extend the shifter. That would make a guy rich eh? Turns out, it's been thought of before, https://www.google.com/patents/US3073278 . Now I just need to track down Spencer Brewster and get this thing to market. Will post a pic of whatever I come up with after roaming the aisles of Menards looking for inspiration. [/QUOTE]
