[Rhodes22-list] new engine, power tiller?

[sail tds.net]

Joe,

You are right I have the power tiller.  I did the remote conversion on my
Tohatsu 9.8 as well as the power tiller installation myself. Not difficult,
you should be able to do it yourself.  There was a learning curve to using
the shift lever without by passing neutral.  The position on the tiller is
very convenient and if I was to rate the power tiller on a basis of 10 I
would rate it at an 8.5.  A friend of mine has one that he decided not to
use, so if you are interested I can find out how much he wants for it.
There are pictures of my set-up in the archives.
