The Osculati telescopic extension rod (61–100 cm) is designed to enhance your control over the outboard motor and improve comfort while steering. Adjustable from 610 mm to 1000 mm in length, it allows you to find the ideal distance to the engine’s tiller handle, which is especially useful on boats where you need to stand, move forward toward the bow, or redistribute weight for better balance. Constructed from anodized aluminium, this extension combines strength with light weight – it resists saltwater corrosion and UV damage without adding significant burden to your boat.
Installation is straightforward and user-friendly: the end of the extension fits over your outboard’s tiller handle (throttle grip) and tightens down using the attached wing-nut clamp. This mounting system enables quick attachment or removal, convenient for stowing the extension when it’s not needed. Once you’ve set the desired length, a nylon locking collar/mechanism secures the telescoping sections, preventing the rod from sliding shorter while the engine is running or in rough water conditions.
Applications & Benefits: A telescopic extension is extremely handy for smaller boats – for instance, 3–5 meter dinghies, jon boats, inflatable RIBs, and other small craft. In such boats, the operator typically sits at the stern near the motor. With this extension, you can position yourself further forward in the boat, which helps improve trim (the boat can plane more easily when weight is distributed forward) and also gives you more room to move. Additionally, during longer periods of operation, you might prefer to stand up – the extension lets you comfortably steer the engine while standing, reducing back strain and fatigue.
This extension isn’t just for gasoline outboards – it’s equally useful for electric trolling motors, where extending the handle often allows control from the center of the boat. In summary, the Osculati telescopic extension rod increases both safety and comfort: you’ll have better visibility ahead of the boat, be able to react more quickly to obstacles, and optimize weight distribution for a more stable, controlled ride. Whether you’re fishing, cruising, or maneuvering to dock, having the extra reach on your engine’s tiller gives you confident command over your vessel.
