  • Patent number: 9493221
    Abstract: Tiller extension handles for watercraft motors comprise a motor coupling mechanism configured to selectively couple the tiller extension handle to a tiller of a motor, and comprise a shaft coupled to the motor coupling mechanism. Tiller extension handles may comprise an accessory (such as a boat hook, brush, net, pole, paddle, and the like) and/or an accessory coupling mechanism (configured to couple an accessory to the tiller extension handle). Further, tiller extension handles may comprise a flexible joint interconnecting the shaft and the motor coupling mechanism, and optionally may include a joint lock-out device to selectively restrict flexing of the flexible joint. Moreover, tiller extension handles may be configured to separate into a tiller section (configured to be coupled to the motor) and an accessory section (including the accessory and/or configured to be coupled to the accessory).
