More Reach, More Control
Steering a small outboard-powered boat from directly behind the motor can limit your view ahead and make it harder to balance the boat's trim. The Nuova Rade tiller extension solves this by adding 65 cm - nearly 26 inches - to the effective length of your tiller. That extra reach lets you shift your weight forward or to one side, improving both your sightlines and the boat's running attitude without any permanent changes to the engine or transom.
Simple Rubber-Pad Clamping Design
The extension attaches using a 1/8" thick rubber pad that wraps around the existing throttle grip on your outboard tiller. The rubber pad provides a firm, non-slip grip on the throttle handle, holding the extension securely in place while you steer and adjust speed. Because the clamp works around the existing grip rather than replacing it, installation requires no tools and no drilling, and the extension can be removed just as easily when not needed.
Who Benefits from a Tiller Extension
Tiller extensions are a practical accessory for a wide range of small boat operators. Anglers benefit from being able to sit further forward to cast without losing steering control. Sailors using a small outboard as auxiliary power can steer from a more comfortable position. Anyone running a dinghy, tender, or small aluminium boat will appreciate the added flexibility in seating position, particularly when carrying passengers or gear that affects how the boat sits in the water.
- Anglers who need to cast forward while maintaining steering control
- Dinghy and tender operators seeking a more comfortable seating position
- Small boat owners who need to shift weight forward to improve trim
- Sailors using an outboard as auxiliary power on a small sailboat
Compatibility and Fitment
The Nuova Rade tiller extension is designed to fit tiller-steered outboard engines. The rubber-pad clamp is sized to grip standard throttle grip handles. Before purchasing, confirm that your outboard uses a conventional tiller handle with a throttle grip, as this extension is not intended for remote-steering or push-pull cable setups. The 65 cm length suits most small to mid-size outboard applications where additional reach is the primary requirement.
