Grand Marina, I think?</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Third, how about a "wanted" posting on CL? Don't use your real phone # or email address as a return, though.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Jan,</div><div><br></div><div>I second Svendsen's for a tiller. That's where I got a new on for "ELAINE" and it fit just right.</div><div><br></div><div>-- Pat Broderick</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div>On Feb 12, 2014, at 8:56 AM, Kristen Past Commodore IYC wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; position: static; z-index: auto; "><div style="RIGHT: auto"><span style="RIGHT: auto">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<var id="yui-ie-cursor"></var>. 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.
