Yeah Dennis...that ducttape worked for me too. I just bought a second new tiller. The first went in Hurricane Bertha, this one to the sun. Still on the parts list from Port Supply...sitting in Annapolis is my guess... they had 8 J30s left... they are laminated and about $80.00
I'm now looking for a new set of pintles/gudgeons for the rudder.... anybody know where they are premaid...or is this a custom replacement?
