Rudder/tiller head

[Figment]

At some point in #78's life, I imagine that the tiller was stolen, causing a PO to install the current ill-fitting replacement. Or, is it normal to need ten washers? ;)

Could someone do me a favor and post a pic of the stock tiller end fitting? I think I may have just stumbled across an original at a consignment shop.

Here you go. This is original to #381--it came off the original solid oak tiller--though there are inevitably differences between the equipment on some of the boats, particularly between those built in the first year or so of production and many of the mid-and later years.

It matters less if the tiller end fitting fits the tiller, and matters more that it fits the tiller head you have. You can always modify your existing tiller, or build/buy a new one, if some change is necessary to accommodate the new tiller end.



Let me know if you need any measurements or anything.

That looks close enough. Close enough for me to ask about the "return policy" anyway.
