    PVC is your friend! Just wanted to show an alternative for the DIY minded individuals. Projects like this are super fun. You can use your creativity to personalize it and make it your own.

    Thank you so much, Eric. This is exactly the set of ideas I need for my Haige motor tiller extension on my wee Seahopper sailboat. I really enjoyed your presentation, and feel confident that even I can do this! Cheers from Japan.

    Tip: at the end of the two cuts, drill a round hole to stop any potential for the split to run. :)

    When you paint PVC piping or furniture you need to use PVC promoter primer, then spray on the paint for the best result.

    I used 2 shop vac extensions. 1 slides inside the other making the length i wanted. These are lighter than pvc, fit exactly over my tohatsu tiller. Do the pair of cut slits making it have the ability to be clamped tight. Already black.

    Was looking into installing stick steering for my 11 ft Sundolphin pro120. However making an extension like you seems way easier, faster and cost effective. Thank you bro!
    do you have a followup video of you using the extension on the water?
    Btw what’s the name of the music track in the background. Thx

      I have plenty of videos of me out on the boat with the extension. Check them out if you want.
      Stick steer is cool if you have a long boat and plan on fishing solo. You can sit way up front to balance the weight and optimize your top speed.

    • @FloBass
      @FloBass  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I didn't use any. I heated up the larger pipe and slip fit the smaller one into it. When the large pipe cools, it shrinks and creates a tight fit.

    • @FloBass
      @FloBass  ปีที่แล้ว

      Handles just fine. Its more difficult to make a tight turn, but I just lift the handle up to do that. The chord has plenty of stretch to reach my wrist, but I usually just clip it to a belt loop.

      @@FloBass Yea maybe cut the cap down 1/3 to make it more profile a full cap maybe to much but it might be perfect I guess you could just not glue it, what do you think about making a shallow water anchor pole ? Do you have one you recommend or custom make ?

    • @FloBass
      @FloBass  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've never made one. I have the power pole micro on my kayak and use their stake. You need something rigid to make a stake out of. I've seen people use wooden dowels and curtain rods as a cheap solution.

    why couldent you use the heat gun to flare the end to fit the tiller handle instead of using the hacksaw and then use the one hose clamp to secure it thus getting your weight bias forward

    • @timlong1462
      @timlong1462 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      There’s no way I would trust a tiller handle under $50 let alone $16. Just look at the reviews. In many cases they break on the first use, and that’s not some thing I would want having snap off. This PVC one would be extremely stout in comparison to the ones you’re referring to.
