My Emergency Tiller was loaned out to an individual and never returned. I am trying to track down this individual now, but regardless, I need an emergency tiller.

Does anyone with a PowerSailer type boat, 25, 27, or 29, or any size non PS boat with wheel steering have an emergency tiller? I want to barrow it and not return it... LOL J/K

I'd like if possible the get a sketch of the circumference of the tiller and the length of the four slits for the rudder connection. Other details would be great but I definitely need the circumference and slot size.

I'd prefer data from a 27PS, but I don't think there is a difference on a 25 or 29.

Thanks in advance.

That is one of the objects on my boat I wouldn't let out of my sight as it would be too painful to reproduce. That reminds me. From what I have read, it can be pretty tough to actually USE and emergency tiller. I have been meaning to take mine out and get a handle on what I would actually need to do if I had to use it. One has to anticipate that the weather might be a factor in the steering cables going south too. I am thinking that some sort of mechanical advantage might be called for in such a case and it would be a plus to iron those issues out in advance ;-)
