Now that I have looked at both of them made up ... the one on Vee Jay 2 pivots too far back ... so in May off it will come and move perhaps six inches toward the handle end ... I haven't even used that boat once and already I am into marinetex rework.
I was lulled into that position because the 2000 on 2 is attached below the tiller on a dumb aluminium arm instead of on top of the tiller on Vee Jay where the pin is directly locked into a close fit 1/4 in. drilled hole. And the curve fit so nicely ... but with the rework in May they will both look more alike.
with the J30s natural weather helm it will pay to be further out on the stick.
By the way if anyone has a spare 5/16 x 24 self locking ss nut ... I would appreciate it ... have to buy a bag of 50 down here and that stopped me cold. WM didn't make a move to special order 1 for me. I am currently experimenting with using 5200 as a stronger locktite.
