I seem to remember there was a thread here about getting a new tiller which seems to have disappeared.

Anyway, the Manual calls for a tiller 1 3/8 inches wide. I measured my bracket and it is only 1 1/4 inches wide. H & L Marine is going to make me one that size.

My last tiller was a bit too wide and I had to sand it down to get it in there. This season I tried to pry it out of the bracket to refinish it and ended up putting a split in it.

The tiller before that I broke while sailing on a very windy day. Sheered off right at the nub. I learned it is possible to steer with a big screwdriver jammed in there.

Now I'll have a spare tiller for emergencies at least.

Cost of new tiller: $ 39.00 unfinished, $ 52.00 varnished. I seem to get 8-10 years out of a tiller, maybe I'm too hard on them
