The emergency tiller on Persistence fits over the top of the rudder post. However the arm extends pas the pedastel requiring removal of the wheel to be used (or perhaps running between spokes?
The wheel comes off easily but I had not thought of running between wheel spokes. If we ever get a boating season this year I might try that just for interest Mike Hoyt Persistence Halifax Canada www.hoytsailing.com<http://www.hoytsailing.com> From: CnC-List <cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com> On Behalf Of Edd Schillay via CnC-List Sent: March 20, 2020 11:19 AM To: Edd Schillay via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Edd Schillay <e...@schillay.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List Emergency tiller 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.
