These photos and drawings are of an emergency tiller for a 1988 Hunter 28.5. The OEM Emergency Tiller was missing when the boat was purchased, and Hunter no longer sells one. The mainshaft is fabbed from plain painted steel pipe, with the handle being made from Chrome-Moly tubing (stronger). Total cost was about $75, and all the parts fit inside the main pipe for storage-held in place with corks at each end. It is small enough to fit in the (shallow) port lazarette, and can be reached without leaving (the now useless LOL) wheel. It drops into the hollow rudder post for a quick solution. If it needs to stay on awhile, it can be turned 90 degrees & bolted into place, and if the boats wheel is removed, the tiller handle length extended as it's adjustable. I hope this helps somebody out.
