tiller

Hi All, Hope you are doing well. My sailboat a 1975 Dufour 34 is steered using the ship's wheel, I found the emergency tiller for it today. I tried removing the lid and installing it but the threads were barely moving. I had to get my tools out. I'd like for it to be more smooth in case I need...

Hi, I'm considering converting from wheel steering to a tiller (I had been considering that even before my steering system broke ;)) on my 1996 Catalina 250WB. One problem I'm anticipating is that the rudder seems to be designed to be locked in place by the steering system's tiller. Once the...

I am unfortunately selling our 26s 1996 MacGregor. I have no idea how the tiller was broken (in two while docked) but it did and now I need to purchase a new or used one. Any suggestions?

Hello all, I have a 1975 O'Day 25. I am currently in the process of sanding down my rudder then applying a penetrating epoxy then paint as it is in rough shape. When reattaching the pintles and tiller to the rudder should I epoxy the through holes and apply a sealant? I also purchased a new...

First time putting my Catalina 22 in the water last night. I'm trying to recall the proper way to tie the tiller securely when the boat is moored. It was essential practice at our sailing club to tie the tiller down to keep the rudder from getting damaged or creating havoc against the boat from...

So I am a new owner of a Hunter 26 that has the aluminum tiller handle. It may be a replacement as the handle angle is slightly off / twisted and the replacement aluminum handles require drilling. Anyways, if I have 4+ people in the cockpit I cannot freely steer without hitting people in the...

Hello, I am in the market for a less then 15 year old Catalina 250 or Hunter 25. I found a reasonably priced Catalina 250 Wing keel with tiller steering. Most C250 I have seen have a wheel. 1) Is it possible to modify the tiller steering to a wheel at a reasonable cost? If yes what are the...

Hello Everyone. Does anyone have any experience with buying a new high performance kick-up rudder/tiller assembly from sailboatowners.com? http://shop.sailboatowners.com/cu/detail-tmpl.php?a=2&pid=50174&sb=Oday Or has anyone bought from Rudder Craft? I own a 1968 O'Day Mariner 19 and I need a...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had the original manuals for the Yamaha 33 sailboat. Our sailboat came without the tiller head and a helm, I would like to find a fitting to make an emergency tiller. Let me know if you have the manuals or could direct me for the tiller head. Thanks : )
