  Patrick: You may have to rig something to get the tiller or a surrogate L shaped rig over the top of the wheel framework.
  An alternative is a little short temporary tiller that you rig to swing free of the wheel framework.
  Else, have Berkeley Marine Center (or KKMI, or a yard in Alameda, or another) come over and tow it to their facility for repair.

    Patrick,
        I would call the repair facility and ask them to come get your boat from its slip. In Santa Barbara our yard has a dinghy with a powerful engine they use as a tow boat to move boats in and out of their slips to the yard. The cost should be part of your insurance claim. Joe Launie/Macavity

      While pulling out of slip last weekend, I lost control of "Blue eyes."  She bumped into boat next to me. Cut to the chase. Insurance damage fellow determined that the "loss of control" stemmed from "quadrant separated from the rudder stock."  What that means is the rudder no workie.  LOL. 
      My question to you nautical guys and gals,  "Can I steer my boat to repair facility with manual tiller?" 
      Anyone want to come along for the ride?
