[C38] emergency tiller

[PAUL NOTTE]

Thanx Tom 
It wouln'nt take much to fabricate one I'm sure . I have finally learned not to reinvent the wheel , I'll get some Alu. stock and just drill a hole in it. When you had to use yours I'm guessing it required a lot of force to control the boat?
  Regards Paul
