Cold fingers can't feel the throttle. Gloves are worse.

Questions

Which mitt fits my motor?

Pick Mud Buddy for any Mud Buddy motor, or Gator Tail GTR XD for any GTR XD motor. If you're not sure, call or text 385-695-3807.

Can I still work my switches?

Yes. That's the point. Your bare hand stays warm inside the mitt, so you can feel and operate the throttle and switches without gloves.

How does it install?

It slides over the tiller handle and installs in seconds. The GTR XD model secures with Velcro straps.

Is there a warranty?

Yes. All BPS parts come with a 6 month warranty against manufacturer defects. Improper installation, modification, abuse and weather conditions are not covered.

For a warranty claim, email glade@backwaterperformance.com with a picture of the issue, a description of the problem and your date of purchase.

Stay warm. Stay in control.

Get to the duck hole safely without fighting bulky gloves. $100 for Mud Buddy or GTR XD.
