My aluminum tiller wobbles after years of wear and tear. The bolt holding it to the rudder housing has expaded the hoile through the tiller producing a wobble in the tiller. I could drill out the holes and put a spacer of sort in the hole but I fear that will only be a stop gap measure. I'm considering a change to a nice laminated wood tiller ( it has nmore class than metal) but am concerned about fit. Has anyone replaced the metal tiller with wood? How'd it work? Can you stil use the cockpit table while underway? As always, thanks in advance. Side bar: Got a chance to solo the boat last week while on vacation ( this is my first year with this boat) What a thrill. I am planning on retiring in 1 year, 4 months and 12 days ( but who's counting). That following spring (April or May, 2004) I plan on circumnavigation the DelMarVa pennisula ( My version of around alone) . I will sail out of the inlett at Ocean City MD, north through the Delaware bay and up the Delaware river to the C&D canal. I'll motor the 12 to 15 miles accross the canal and then sail down the Chesapeake to the Bya entrance. Then it's north up the coast to Chincoteaque, behind Asseteaque Island and home to OC. Any input will be appreciated and USED>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
