Anyone have a big tiller handle on their 60hp Merc. I am thinking of upgrading my handle to get all my controls on the handle so I can build a back casting deck on my Esox Mag. As it is right now I would have difficulty getting to my key and trim mounted on on my side wall. I have not seen any but they look pretty big. Any thoughts or experience would be appreciated.

I have one. I love it. Having all the controls right there on the handle was the selling point for me. The added bonus is the RPM fine tune. The only downside I see is that the handle is long enough to extend above the motor when stored in the upright position. Not a problem for me who fishes from the front, but has gotten in the way at times for a back deck fisherman.

Not sure if this helps...I had a 96 esox ltd and was able to move the control panel with the key forward a few feet to accommodate a rear casting platform. Might be feasible if you have enough slack in your wiring.
