Had to cut two inches off our emergency tiller so it would clear the pedestal spindle. I expect it will need a rope tied to the handle tip to gain enough leverage to control it, so two inches isn't a big change. I try to keep my steering cable and pulleys well lubed so I never need it.

It fits fine over the rudder post but then the Edson pedestal and wheel block its movement so I can only turn the tiller about 30 degrees. No way would it be possible to come about. If I had to use it, I would take off the wheel so I could turn it a bit more, but still it would hit the pedestal. What am I doing wrong?
