When mine got damaged by being twisted with great force, I did quite a
bit of asking around at places that advertise that they can make
replacements for any tiller. None would do it. So I did it myself.

You bring up an excellent point about CO detectors. (not CO2). Any fired device
(stove, engine, generator, etc.) is capable of quickly generating dangerous
levels of carbon monoxide in a confined space such as the cabin of a sailboat.

Rob makes some good points but misses one fundamental difference between gas on
boats and other uses (cars. lawn mowers etc) namely that any spill of gas is
going to be contained in the hull of a boat. A spill / leak on a car etc will

Amazing that I can get a custom built laminated mahogany and ash tiller for
less than a telescoping asymmetrical tiller extension! I am getting quite a
lesson in the cost of sailing gear and I haven't even started looking into
my rigging.

Curtis,
Cycling the seacocks is a great practice. I hope you misspoke when you
said you have seacocks on your cockpit drains closed. Maybe I
misunderstand but if the drains are closed where does the water go when it
rains? Similarly, ice dams in cockpit drains has sunk boats at the dock
through
Funny you mentioned that. I found it curious that my cockpit drains are
below the waterline. All my cockpit drains in my old boat were (just) above
the waterline. That seems like a more prudent practice. Not sure the logic
behind this practice.

I close all my seacocks unless they're being used. The first thing I did
with my boat when I purchased it was to replace all of the original gate
valves and thru-hulls with proper bronze sea-cocks .. all but the cockpit
drains. I did not replace those through hulls and gate valves because the

I have had a boat with a diesel and the 4-107 is definitely a better boat
engine than an A4 if you can fit one in your boat. Unlike the A4, which is the
height of 1920s tech, the 4-107 is the height of 1950s tech. Even better are
the Kubota derived diesels like the Beta that are this century tec
Thanks Joe, you've basically articulated my viewpoint better than I could.
The A4 has an undeserved bad reputation that, when viewed from a financial
perspective, is a good thing for the buyers out there .. of course, bad for
sellers. However, upgrading to a diesel won't get you your money back ..
Jon,
If people used the same due dilligence with their gas engines that you do
with propane this would not be an issue.
I have all the propane equipment you do and still turn off the gas at the
tank when I'm done cooking. My propane locker has a pad lock on it, *rule

Hi Chuck,
I Typically close all seacocks before leaving the boat for the week. For
me, it's a simple all or nothing deal and I have a placard (3 X 5 sheet of
paper :-) ) I put on the sink cover (1st thing you see coming in the
cabin) that says "All seacocks shut".
Since I do it almost every
NEVER lock or latch a propane locker! Repeat, NEVER. If the tank
explodes you want the force to blow upwards through the freely opening
hatch. If it is latched or locked, the force will blow downward through
the bottom of your boat. I don't think legal propane lockers even have a
latch. That is

I have a Martec folding prop which when I come off the mooring operates
fine. However if I slow down or stop to pick up crew at the dock something
happens and it vibrates like crazy. It's got to be that one of the blades

After cleaning all the terminals, checking fuses etc. I found that the wire
from the alternator to the external regulator had corroded and fallen off.
I didn't see it at first because it's buried in my tight engine
compartment. Of course in hindsight I might have checked the regulator
earlier. Good
Hi Dave,
My prop is for all intents brand new and I occasionally get the big
vibration when I advance the throttle too quickly after shifting in reverse
but never in forward. Going back to idle and accelerating smoothly fixes
it.
As for how much play you might have I think the only way to know
Yes there are less than perfect options available. I really like the look of
the original unit. C&C cut every corner on cost with the MkV (compared to
previous mks) but somehow spent money on this really slick tiller. I'd prefer
it look original when I'm done.

I have made many bent shaft canoe paddles. From what you are describing sounds
very doable. Can you send picture off list.

Brent,
Several weeks ago a J30 broke its tiller at the windward mark, causing
havoc for the rest of the fleet. Fortunately, he was doing his usual
sloppy rounding and everyone managed to go between him and the mark as he
did 360s while out of control. Don't be that idiot!

Holy crap, I never thought of that. My boat came with a latch and lock on

Hey, don't leave a hole in your boat, man.
Clean the hole out enough to get a good physical bond, rough it up a

solid for over eight years.
