Hi all... just trying to figure out how to make the tiller handle on my 81' Merc 7.5 stay up. I have fiddled with it but I haven't figured out the secret. Also, anyone know what I can do to keep the handle from turning my hand black? If you say gloves... that is not the route I had in mind, but if there isn't any known way then maybe it will be. 
Thanks!
Thanks!
