Throttle on new boat

[dshannon11]

Has anyone had issues using throttle while standing? We got our new Bennington a few months back and it’s been in storage until spring.

While looking it over, I noticed the throttle lever is wayyyy lower than my old boat. I am vertically challenged and like to stand while driving to have better visibility. While standing on the boat at the dealer, it felt awkwardly lower than normal.
Is there a way to increase throttle length or do I just need to sit down now?
Thanks!

What model boat do you have? S and less the throttle is closer to the wheel. SX and above it‘s moved back quite a bit is is darn near impossible (for me) to stand and operate the throttle, especially while docking (forward, reverse, neutral, repeat).

22 SSX-APG. Yea I REALLY like standing while docking and am thinking that won’t be possible anymore. Just figured I would ask if there are extensions for the lever arm.

It's a pain for sure, perhaps the entire binnacle can be relocated to the upper part of the helm. See pic for location.

I am constantly standing but because I have the flip-up option on the chair I'm more in a "leaning post" type position and can get some of my hand on the throttle. So there's another option. Third option it appears you can get a spacer to lift the binnacle up an inch or two - see 2nd pic.
