Boat projects - Building a tiller extension and outboard pad for my Electric outboard

Because the Mirror isn't that big I need to try and sit in the middle of the boat and that makes reaching my outboard difficult, so I needed to make a tiller handle extension. I made it out of a metal rod, custom 3D printed sleeve and finished off the handle in silicon rubber. I also made a wooden outboard pad that would not only allow me to mount my outboard in the centre of the boat, but also raised the outboard just enough to be at the perfect depth for the hull. You can see all my latest projects in action in the next sailing video where I usually put them all to the test! 00:00 Building an outboard motor pad/mount 01:11 Making the tiller extension 03:28 Mixing silicon 07:43 Pouring the silicon 09:12 Removing the mould 09:36 The finished tiller extensions @ePropulsion
