New Mercury Big Tiller Unboxing

[@flex2win]

My handle just showed up too!! This handle is a major upgrade over the last one for sure, and with heated option coming this fall will make it even better!!

[@DennisBohannan]

I think so to. I'm gonna get on the water tomorrow. Only thing I question is the trim turns with the throttle. I think it will be fine though.

[@flex2win]

@@DennisBohannan keep us posted!! I pick up my 80 jet next week baby....BOOOOOOOOOOM

[@plumbthumbicus]

I love my big tiller. You’re buying from my town. Lol. Love it!

[@DennisBohannan]

Jayson is who I got the boat through as well.

[@khristopherbourque7345]

Tohatsu needs to step their game up.

[@shiraz1736]

I’m sure I saw a vid with a Mercury rep in it saying you can swap it.

[@DennisBohannan]

You can. I just over looked it it is easy also. I have another video of me doing so.

[@AdventuresOutdoors]

I have the previous Big tiller. I like this one but the trim switch is a deal breaker for me. I am constantly adjusting trim and that just isn’t cool to me.

[@DennisBohannan]

Same here I am constantly trimming. I have gotten used to it. Not a big deal anymore. But for sure different and I would had rather they left that part the same.

[@AdventuresOutdoors]

@@DennisBohannan how much did the new arm cost? By the way, I have a 60 and they did offer a optional rpm adjuster which I have but on the 60hp and below it only drops to about 600rpm so it doesn’t do much at all. On the higher hp motors it could drop the rpm to something like 350 rpm so it would really help when trolling etc.

[@DennisBohannan]

@@AdventuresOutdoors seems like it was mid $900. Also with the jet the troll function does really help much at all. I do use it time to time.

[@danbarosh2942]

Good job..?? looked around for length compared to original it appears longer...I need longer thx dan

[@brandonpharis1480]

What about that green ford in the background , goodnight that’s fine !

[@DennisBohannan]

1972 f250 high boy. 360 and 4 speed. Not mine unfortunately, a friends. It is a head turner.

[@dewaynewebb3467]

Did your boat have the basic tiller to begin with?

[@DennisBohannan]

No, just the original big tiller. This tiller is actually called advanced tiller.

[@dewaynewebb3467]

I’m looking at buying a boat with a 60 and a basic tiller and want to know if I can put that tiller on it?

[@DennisBohannan]

@@dewaynewebb3467 I have never done it, but surely it could be.

[@44thala49]

If anybody is watching this that doesn’t know, there’s a spare kill switch clip clipped into the underside of these in case you break the main one.

[@jacklowe3788]

Like the tiller - Who old Ford pick up?

[@DennisBohannan]

Buddy Zach. 72 high boy

[@jacklowe3788]

@@DennisBohannan Sure would like to an old high boy or crew cab especially w/ 6cyl. If you ever come across one for 4 sale shoot message-

[@PaulSmith-tf9bn]

Why a tiller steer over a steering wheel

[@DennisBohannan]

Several reason. Keeps more space in the boat. Console takes a lot of room. Way faster steering and throttle response. Which is must needed in tricky situations. I can stand up and drive for better visibility. Lighter

[@PaulSmith-tf9bn]

@@DennisBohannan thank you for replying to my comments now the only thing is if I can get that place in Breckenridge to build me a boat if it's not going to be too expensive

[@DennisBohannan]

@@PaulSmith-tf9bn where you live at?

[@kasongaby2653]

Nice. Time to go to the river😂

[@alfredosanchez2967]

what the part number ??? how much you pay for???

[@DennisBohannan]

Mid 900s I believe, and I am not sure in the part number.

[@PaulSmith-tf9bn]

Can you rest your arm weight on it and not tear anything up

[@DennisBohannan]

Yes and some.
