Do boats in California often change their steering or magically adjust dead center??? CM - I check the centering on my tiller every time. And I found out why you should always have an emergency tiller when that solid ash tiller, without a mark on the outside, broke off cleanly, with the break looking like dry rot. Exciting for a moment or two. Frank The tiller mount on our O'Day 22 came loose in a storm and we were in the same kind of picle,,,,things get very busy very ffast..... |

You'll have to ask Nutsy. He helms from the HIGHEST ELEVATION of anyone I ever seen (G) Thom, you have yet to see me at the helm, but you should look at my buddies C&C 34XL or any number of CC boats. We generally helm like this.... http://members.aol.com/bobsprit/imag...jonsuzweby.jpg But this makes for a better pic... http://members.aol.com/bobsprit/images/newhelm.jpg RB 35s5 NY |
