Ive used it once just to see if it worked. it just clears the wheel and actuall makes the wheel spin. probbly in a heavy sea it would require some muscle to make the boat behave but I am quite sure the tiller itself would stand up to about anything.

I'm interested also..

 

I will have to check in the cockpit lockers. For some reason I think I remember being told there was one in there.. Or maybe they just pointed out the fitting on deck that covers where it would connect.

The emergency tiller arrangement that came with my DE 38 is a pritty a poor design.    I think that the former owner put it together and I am sure that it would not hold up under a real load.  

Did the DEs  come equipped with an emergency tiller as standard or an accessory or are they all owner designed/fabricated.

I am planning designing and fabricatiing a new one and would appreciate description/pics or drawings of other emergency tillers.

Thanks,

Carmine
