>> First, have you tried the used boat equipment place in Alameda? Grand Marina, I think?
>> Second, there's been a Criags List listing (under boats) for a place in San Leandro (?) that has a supply of misc. sailboat parts. I think they buy junkers and take them apart. I don't see the listing on today's version of CL, but it's been up pretty regularly this past year. It looks like a warehouse filled with "stuff." They're only open at certain times if I remember correctly. You might keep an eye out on CL for it.
>> Third, how about a "wanted" posting on CL? Don't use your real phone # or email address as a return, though.
>> Fourth, WM sells a "Tiller Bracket & Shim Kit." I don't know anything about it, for instance whether or not it would work on a Tuna, but the Alameda WM Store might know.
>> Finally, I don't understand how the tiller could be so far off center? Does the hole at the top of the rudder shaft sit a 90º to the rudder? If not, then the rudder is fixed at the wrong angle onto the shaft. If it's 90º then something's really wrong the rudderhead end.

>>> Hey while folks are looking for an extra tiller, if anyone comes across or gets a lead on replacement TILLER CHEEKS (you know, the attachment of the tiller to the rudder stock) please let me know. Some of you may recall the rudder breakage I suffered at nationals last summer, and the rudder is now replaced, but the tiller is loose and unfortunately now cocked some 30 deg. to starboard when the rudder tracks straight. My old cheeks are pretty crappy, and there is also a small issue with the stock alignment, but I really could use new cheeks. Try finding those on Google or at Svendsen's - I haven't been able to - except soliciting someone to custom make, so any leads or suggestions I am grateful for. Thanks!
