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

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

Hi,
I am impressed with the birth of the emergency tiller. 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!
Thanks, Will
