ABSTRACT:
A tiller handle extension for use as a furtherance of a marine type outboard motor tiller control handle by attaching it to a tiller control handle by using an adapter that is modified to fit a tiller control handle. The device is adapted to be used quickly and easily by use of any adapter modified for attaching to virtually all sizes of tiller handles. The device not only permits one to control the throttle on the tiller control handle, but is an extension of the kill button, which stops the motor. The kill button is usually located at the outer end of the motor's tiller control handle. By attaching the present invention to the tiller control handle, the kill button is extended, by use of an actuator within the present invention, to the end of the tiller handle extension. This permits an operator to stop the motor by pushing a button, which is part of an actuator located in the present invention, which in turn depresses the actual kill button on the end of the tiller control handle. The tiller handle extension also does not restrict access to a kill switch and lanyard, which are located closer to the motor. This combination is used as an additional safety measure in case an operator falls overboard.
