[Rhodes22-list] Tiller just broke!! HELP!!!

[Robert Quinn]

Richard:  Had a similar incident just as I took over our boat.  Stan kindly
provided us with a new tiller; however, I do believe that West Marine
carries the same tiller.  If you have one in your area, give them a call to
see if they stock them as not all West Marine stores cater to the sailing
crowd.

Stan, of course, is always a good source for replacement parts.
