Will, That doesn’t sound right. The emergency tiller should be able to be attached and used in an, ahem, emergency. I would suggest trying to put it in place and see if there is actually not enough room. If your pedestal isn’t original and bigger than normal, then I would suggest cutling down the tiller so i does fit and can be used VERY QUICKLY.
Imagine big waves, and a rocky inlet close by — and then your steering cable snaps. You should be able to get the emergency tiller on and working within seconds. All the best, Edd Edd M.

However, it would appear that I’d have to remove the wheel pedestal to have room for it to work. If so, does anybody have any experience doing that?? I’m also thinking 1986–this sucker is likely to be very challenging to unbolt!
