If you have a Torqeedo, you may want to sit as far away from it as possible on longer journeys when there's no wind. Or even if you have a petrol outboard. The noise close by the tiller can be nerve-shredding after a while.
With two bits of string and a couple of low friction ring strops on each side, this is now possible on my BR20 Turaco. I sit on the rearmost sleeping infill, facing forwards, and pull handles which are attached to the tiller through long pieces of string. Pull on the port one to turn to port, and starboard to turn to starboard. This was the same steering convention when coxing a rowing eight with bits of string many decades ago - I expect it's all fly by wire these days. For this to work on a sailing boat tiller, the strings have to cross over each other to the opposite side.

Obviously I'm a long way from the throttle, so this is only for use on uncrowded open water. A remote throttle, which is a Torqeedo option, would be an expensive step too far. I suppose I could add a long piece of string to the emergency stop gadget so that I could at least cut the power without stirring from the front.
