Extending The Possibilities
Simple in form, diverse in function, today’s tiller-based skiffs are the essence of uncomplicated fishing. A hull, motor and gear are all that’s needed to explore the shallows of your home port or those far away. Yet as any angler and outdoorsmen will attest, a modification or two always seems to find its way onto the simplest of skiffs.
One modification is a tiller extension. Designed to help better balance the weight distribution of a skiff and in some cases help plane the skiff off faster. Additionally, allowing for a wider variety of positions from which to operate the skiff. Whether a home brew, made from scrap PVC pipe and some hose clamps, or one of a growing number of examples made from super light carbon fiber to super strong aluminum, the choices are plenty.
As with any product made in this modern litigious atmosphere, caution and due care is always recommended. There is no substitute for knowledge and experience. Microskiff.com recommends that a PFD and the safety lanyard are always worn while operating a tiller based skiff, with or without a tiller extension. Always read and follow the manufacturers instructions.
