I attempted to send a picture of my question but my photo had to high a resolution to be posted. My tiller is attached to the rudder post with one through bolt. The holes on the post are starting to become oval which allows movement. I think there should be some sort of insert which would spread the load. Could some one with a tiller photo how theirs' is attached. I'll look into copying my photo with a lower resolution that will help.
