Oh My... is this a sample of the Australian Sailing mentality.... stuck up,
tight assed and totally bereft of humour? By the way you kangaroo jockey...

Notice the hook up and how easy I set the drag on this one??

No..... it isn't but I'm certain you must have a store like it. I got mine
from the local chandlery here in Canada.... but to tell the truth... I agree
with Bart on the Tiller Tamer..... use adjustable shock cords and cam
cleats. I've replaced mine 3 times due to the breakage he mentioned.

Is West Marine in Australia? I looked for it but cant find it listed.

CM is really French, but even the French disowned him.
That puts him lower than white whale **** on the bottom
of the ocean under a spring tide. grin

It is a shame. Good idea, crap materials. Also I found
it very slow to free when I needed the tiller free. That
could be dangerous.

When I had a tiller pilot, sometimes I'd turn it off, to save the
battery, but still use it to hold the tiller to a set position.
Basically you had a hole in the tiller that a pin dropped into,
was very quick to pull out. I suppose you could make something
similar using an adjustable telescoping pole.

Yeah Scotty.... but the basic idea of the tiller tamer is a good one. It
needs to be re-engineered and made out of stainless steel with a quick
release lever as well as a more functional clutch assembly. I might try to
build one this winter in my machine shop. I have the tools and raw metal
stockpiled. Turn some pieces on the metal lathe.... etc.

I saw a cool deal on an old wooden boat one time...There was
a bronze plate on the deck under the tiller, maybe a foot
long, with 'teeth' sticking up. Then there was a small
bronze flange on the tiller that would slot into any of the
notches.

Yeah, I think you told me about that. On the Mac, I used to put a
boat cushion on top of the lazerrette and under the tiller,
weight down the tiller with a small bucket of water. Worked real
well.
