[Rhodes22-list] Captain Peter Thorn - Champion Sailboat Racer

Rummy, et al.,

I got the UPP set up on my boat as well, and so far so good.  I still need
to get down with a digital camera to show it with the Yamaha 9.9.  The
tiller ties to the top of the motor via a bracket over the motor cowling and
a connecting bar to the top of the tiller, so with the rudder down and at
low throttle you can do the one-finger steering method and have amazing
responsiveness.

FYI, the hiking stick set up with the flush mount in the coaming is
available as an aftermarket item in West Marine catalog.  It also works very
well.
