[C38] Emergency Tiller

Fri Jul 1 19:50:19 EDT 2011

I loosened my steering wheel and lubed the shaft and threads.  After reinstalling them, I left the nut fairly loose so I could remove the wheel in a hurry with a Crescent wrench.  By removing the wheel, it allowed for a longer emergency tiller handle which we actually had to use once.

Joe, what we will do is put the tiller handle all the way to the stern, take two lines and tie them to the handle end, two blocks on your toe rails, take the lines through the blocks up to your secondary or primary winches and steer with your winches.

Max,
    I do not know how to start a new thread but I have a new problem. Wednesday nite a gal in our club lost control of her chute on a J-145. The chute wrapped around the keel. She got it sorted out - started the engine and discovered the reason for the round-up was that the steering cable  broke. She pulled out her emergency tiller and motored quietly into the slip.  Since the binnacle is in the way, my emergency tiller is 14 inches long. (I have never tried it) How do you guys deal with this problem? Joe Launie/Macavity

So sorry to hear that and that you'll be spending your time off working to re-build the site. 

I'm sure I speak for all of us by saying that we truly appreciate your time and effort on this, and for all that you've done for the site and the Association.
