I have a good friend who said he has a tiller that might work, but I'll repair it short and keep it on board as a back-up.<br /><br />Fuji likes the steps and likes the V-Berth cave,<br /><br />Glad you fixed your leaks... I have a couple to run down myself.<br /><br />Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07950027944252186558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174707630587958872.post-24680830782982624982015-04-28T21:04:01.841-04:002015-04-28T21:04:01.841-04:00A couple metal straps on either side of the tiller...A couple metal straps on either side of the tiller might save it. Otherwise, it looks like a new tiller may be needed. Looking at that split in the tiller, I'm thinking a single solid tiller would be better than trying to fix that again. Last thing you want is to be out on a sail to have it break on you. If anything, use the short tiller idea, fix it the best you can and use it as a back up or temporary until another tiller can be fitted.<br /><br />Nice work on the steps for your old buddy. Good to see he can get anywhere in the boat now.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07379397976154250105noreply@blogger.com
