[Rhodes22-list] Broken tiller

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

You can get a replacement wood laminated tiller from Defender or West Marine $120-$160  when I replaced mine, I used a Catalina 22 style and it seemed a perfect match. 

If you have the wonderful CoS then I would recommend contacting GB, of course the fiberglass tiller would be a great up grade. (I have neither the CoS nor fiberglass tiller....    :-(
