[Rhodes22-list] Power Tiller Remote Control

[Peter Thorn]

Ron,

Your boat really looks great!  Nice installation.  I'll bet docking is much
easier.  

How much weight does the Power Tiller add to the tiller?  Do the cables
impinge the sensitive  "feel" of the tiller?  

Thanks.

PT

There have been several posts regarding remote controls for the R-22.  I
have installed the Power Tiller and am very satisfied with the results.  I
opted to install the unit under the tiller so that it did not interfere with
the tiller extension.  The conversion remote kit from Tohatsu was very well
engineered and I was able to install it with the help of a friend in about
30 minutes.  It helped that my friend is an engineer and was able to read a
diagram since there are no written instructions.  The set up sure beats
hanging over the transom, especially since I have the Spitzer tiller-motor
linkage. I elected to keep the on and off switch at the motor since the
choke is there and starting is quite easy especially since the motor tiller
controls are still functional. All in all I am very well pleased with the
set-up. Only drawback, I cant use my tiller cover.

Fair winds and following seas,
