[QUOTE="chrispbrown27, post: 303610, member: 9661"] I use a minnkota tiller extension for the outboard when running in stumpy areas, so I can see what is going on at water level in front of me. I have also done it when I have passengers that are blocking my view and during duck season running through timber in the dark. Not something I would want to do with the throttle opened wide up in timber, but in the middle of the lake I have done it from time to time. The extension is long enough that I can stand or sit at the middle bench seat, but I never sit down....if I sat down I can't see whats at water level ahead of me. As far as turning goes, all I have to do is lean forward a little and I can move the extension to either side. You can't really make sharp turns though, unless you step to either side of the boat to push the handle in that direction, but standing up I don't wanna make turns that are that sharp anyway.
