[Rhodes22-list] re placement tiller for 86 Rhodes 22

[DownHill]

Replacement rudder results:

The stock tiller from Rudder Craft turned out the be the best fit at the
best price:
http://www.idasailor.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=56&products_id=750

I ordered the Style E ($99) tiller L=47", butt W=1.5", h=2.0"
This price is for an unvarnished tiller.   Varnishing adds $20 & a tiller
cover costs $39.  Shipping is $19

The West Marine & Defender tillers were shorter for the required butt
dimensions.  I prefer a longer tiller because it has a better mechanical
advantage when hiking out.  If you are sailing single handed it is nice to
hike out far forward, next to the cabin. I thought the tiller cover was
expensive since I can find an old sun umbrella cover some where in the
house.

Defender had the lowest prices if a short tiller is desired.
