EMERGENCY TILLER HEAD REPLACEMENT

[DREW WILCOXEN]

I OWN AN 82 30 THAT CAME FROM THE DEALER WITH A WHEEL. THE TILLER WAS REMOVED BUT THE ORIGINAL TILLER HEAD WAS LEFT IN PLACE. THE HEAD JUTS OUT A FEW INCHES AND CAN BE VERY PAINFUL ON THE BACK OF THE LEG WHEN MOVING ABOUT. IN 83 OR 84 CATALINA REPLACED THIS WITH AN EMERGENCY HEAD THAT DOSEN'T STICK OUT. CAN I REPLACE MINE WITH THE NEW TYPE AND WILL IT BE DIFFICULT.

Tiller Head

Yes you can get the "smaller" non-protruding tiller head replacement from Catalina Direct. I got one for my boat neighbor and I rememeber it not being expensive $20-$30. It's easy to install while boat in water.

Emergency tiller head

Catalina Direct has them for $48. See the link. You'll need to make a new emergency tiller also.
