Funny story in these times where we are all online a bit too much;) After all 
this tiller talk,
Had a dream last night I was practicing righting my 30ft (open cockpit) boat, 
really?  did about 4 perfect recoveries standing on keel of course, like it was 
a laser ?? Not! Then soon after I started sailing back Snap! no steering. So I 
put to work another article I read that  linked on steering without rudder and 
made it to the ramp! well 1 problem,  I was at wrong ramp! this one was for 
boats under 20ft so I could not get my truck in
No problem, headed back out. Using sails to steer, and then woke up.  Not sure 
if I made it ??
May have to lay off the iPad a little and back to fixin stuff :)
Be well! Dream on
Or
start a “your best-sailing dream thread for little lightness in these tough 
times.
Ciao!

Shawn,

Attached is pictures of my emerg tiller.  Thanks for reminding me about it, 
since it is rarely pulled out of the port cockpit locker.  The bolt/nut is 
corroded and needs to be cleaned up so it can be tightened on the post. Let me 
know if you need dimensions.

This thread reminds me that I still haven't finished fabricating the e-tiller 
for my 35-2. I think I asked a while back, but if anyone has a photo of an 
original 35 mk2 tiller, I'd love to see it. It is quite different from the mk1, 
since the rudder post is behind the pedestal. What came with the boat is a 
thick steel plate that clamps on the rudder post, then a vertical aluminum pipe 
to bring the height to almost above the wheel, ending in a "T" welded to the 
pipe. I have a few ideas on how to make a tiller to attach to "T", but am still 
curious to see what an original looks like.

Oh, and my re-wiring job that is quickly progressing to a complete teardown of 
the boat has almost reach the steering gear, so an inspection under there is 
imminent. Things looked good in terms of nicely greased and clean, but the 
issue of cable damage caused by rudder turning too far needs to be checked - my 
rudder turns beyond 45 degrees at full lock.
