Trolling motor handle height?

[RustyShackleford]

How high do trolling motor handles normally go? I am going to order one online, but the specs don't say, just the depth of the motor. I'd like to use the trolling motor while standing at the back of my pontoon, but that seems like it might be a bit high up.

Thanks, but that doesnt really answer the question and says it's not really applicable to transom mount. I am referring to the telescopic handle and how far it can come up from the shaft.

You have to get the proper length shaft first. The telescoping handles do tilt up some but only come out about 8 inches. You can buy extension handles for them too. http://www.iboats.com/Trolling-Moto...0172795--session_id.147063601--view_id.138269 http://www.iboats.com/Trolling-Moto...0172795--session_id.147063601--view_id.138270
