[Rhodes22-list] Motor to tiller slave lashing mechanism

Do you mean the custom plastic block with stainless pin that is mounted on the top of the motor cowl? It attaches to an arm that is attched to the tiller and causes the ob to become a slave. I can send a pic tomorrow if u need it. Stan makes them custom for each ob.
